The yet unnamed Hamilton arena, which first opened in 1985 with a full capacity of 19,000, is on track to reopen in all its modern glory in November 2025 with a capacity of 18,000. ? About 40 miles west of Toronto, Ontario, the arena is now gutted after Oak View Group broke ground in May on the $200 million-plus renovation, designed by Brisbin Brook Beynon Architects and constructed by Ellis Don. ? “So, this is a reno. However, it’s a total transformation of a building,” OVG’s Paul Young, Senior Vice President of Project Management, said after the noisy walk-through. ?
