Windsor Arena (nicknamed The Barn) is an indoor arena located in Windsor, Ontario. Originally named the Border Cities Arena, it hosted the Detroit Cougars for the 1926-1927 season, while the Olympia Stadium was under construction. The arena, built a year before for the local OHL team, was expanded from 6,000 to 9,000 for the Cougars.
The arena was later renamed the Windsor Arena. It is still standing - despite the occasional efforts of the city of Windsor to replace it with a more modern arena, mostly due to complaints about the seating and the tiny concourses - and hosts the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL.
The City of Windsor has six arenas located throughout the city offering ice rental opportunities as well as year round special event options.
