The Barrie Molson Centre is a 4,195-seat multi-purpose arena in Barrie, Ontario Canada. The Barrie Molson Centre, also known as the BMC, held its first ever OHL game on December 31, 1995 when the Barrie Colts hosted the Sudbury Wolves. It is home to the Barrie Colts ice hockey team and the Barrie Lakeshores MLS Lacrosse Team. The Colts played the first half of their inaugural season at the old Barrie Arena while the BMC was under construction. The Barrie Molson Centre has held many concerts and events in its 11-year history including Canada v. Russia Series, Toronto Rock v. Philadelphia Wings lacrosse, World Wrestling Entertainment, the Harlem Globetrotters, Barenaked Ladies, and Nickelback. The BMC was one of the new style arenas in the OHL which a lot of the newer arenas modeled from. The BMC seats 4,195 plus 100 in standing room. There is a full concourse so you can walk all the way around the arena. In the west end the concourse goes through Casey's Restaurant which was added in 2003. The BMC has a standard four-sided score board and a score board at the west end. There are time of day clocks and shot clocks at each end. Food and beverages are fairly expensive at the BMC as a large beer will cost you almost $10. The BMC is known as one of the quietest arenas in the OHL but the Colts do have some die hard followers that travel to tons of games. The BMC added 4 video screens in the arena bowl for replays and to watch the game. An arena is a circular or oval shaped (or sometimes rectangular) public space (akin to a classical amphitheatre), designed to showcase theater, musical performances, or sporting events. ...
