The Vancouver Canucks are back in action tonight as they take on the Nashville Predators in game three of the first round in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But, how likely is it that you’re going to be in Nashville to watch? Doesn’t matter! You can watch the game inside Rogers Arena with hundreds of other fans on the big screen and cheer on the team from there.
The #Canucks have unveiled further details on the exciting experience fans can expect when attending the team’s first @Rogers Away Game Viewing Party of the playoffs this Friday, April 26 at 4:30 PM PT.

The fans hope the Canucks can turn things around after an underwhelming performance in game two. Rogers Arena is pulling out all the stops for Vancouverites looking to get the experience of being in the arena during gameday. The doors will be opening at 3:30pm, and the pregame show will be as close to a home game as it possibly can be. The national anthem, siren crank, in game hosts and FIN himself will all be there. Every fan with a seat will get their own rally towel, enjoy live music, contests, and giveaways during breaks and intermissions. This is all for the fans, and thanks to president of sports and entertainment Michael Doyle, more fans and families can experience a home playoff game.
“For fans that haven’t been able to attend a home playoff game this season, we are replicating the experience for Friday’s Rogers Away Game Viewing Party so more fans and families can join us on our playoff journey. We want our players to hear us in Nashville and know that we are all together and all in.” Michael Doyle, President of Canucks Sports and Entertainment, Business Operations.
The success of this viewing party has been so high, that the arena is now selling tickets to some upper bowl tickets after they almost sold out of the lower bowl seats. There will be a selection of concession stands open on levels 100 and 300, and each ticket holder will have the opportunity to buy a Rogers Value Meal that will be available on the concourse. Now I don’t know about you, but $15 for a watch party with hundreds of other Canucks fans and some cheap food on top of it? That sounds like a pretty damn good way to spend a Friday afternoon. And to make it even better, the money from each ticket is going to the Canucks for Kids fund.
Puck drop is at 4:30pm PST and 6:30pm CST for those of you who might be lucky enough to be watching in Nashville. Game four is on Sunday at 2:00pm but no plans to have a viewing party have been announced yet.
Sounds like a great success. Is there going to be a viewing party for the next game, on Sunday?
Sadly, there won’t be due to a prior scheduled event happening, but I expect that future playoff away games will be hosted at Rogers! Was an amazing event!
