E Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The E Center is a 10,100-seat multi-purpose arena in West Valley City, Utah, southwest of Salt Lake City. The arena opened on September 2, 1997.

The entertainment venue has hosted numerous events including, Janet Jackson, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Black Eyed Peas, Prince, Dave Matthews Band, Backstreet Boys, Fall Out Boy, and Gwen Stefani.

The unusual name refers to both the concept of entertainment and to United Airlines, which used the arena to promote its electronic ticketing program.

Its primary tenant is the Utah Grizzlies ice hockey team. In 2002, it was the main venue for ice hockey at the Winter Olympic Games. Canada beat the United States in both gold medal games. The arena used to be home to the Utah Freezz of the World Indoor Soccer League from 1999-2001 and the Utah Warriors of the NIFL from 2003-2004.
