The Colisée Pepsi ( English Pepsi Coliseum ; formerly Colisée de Québec or Quebec (City) Coliseum ) is a multifunctional hall in the city of Québec in Canada . It is located on the ExpoCité exhibition center north of the city center.
From 1972 to 1995 it was the home ground of the Québec Nordiques from the World Hockey Association and the National Hockey League . The home games of the Québec Remparts , who play in the QMJHL , and Québec Radio X , which are part of the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey, are currently being played in the arena .
The original Colisée de Québec was built on the site of today's arena in 1910 , where the home games of the Quebec Bulldogs from the NHL were played. The current building was built in 1949 and initially had seating capacity for 10,034 people. However, in 1980 the stadium was rebuilt and renovated. Since then it has had a capacity of 15,176 spectators and has therefore also grown to meet the NHL standard. In addition to the sporting events, the Colisée Pepsi is also used for concerts.
In 2008, the arena next to the Halifax Metro Center hosted the men's ice hockey world championship . Thirty years earlier, the Colisée was one of the venues for the 1978 Junior Ice Hockey World Championship .
From September 2015 the Remparts will play in the new Center Vidéotron . There are currently no plans to demolish the Colisée Pepsi as it could potentially be used to host Winter Olympics in the near future.
On September 14, 2015, the Colisée Pepsi was closed after a concert by the Metallica group after 66 years.
