Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex, or The Aud for short, is a sports facility in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The complex is located on East Avenue, near the Ottawa Street/Conestoga Parkway interchange.
The actual auditorium consists of a major arena ice rink (the Dom Cardillo Arena) with seating for 5,822, and two smaller rinks (the Kinsmen Arena and Kiwanis Arena). It also has a baseball diamond (the Jack Couch Stadium), a track and field stadium (Centennial Stadium) and a skatepark outside the building. It is home to the Kitchener Rangers, of the Ontario Hockey League and the Kitchener Panthers, of the Intercounty Baseball League.
The original arena was built in 1950 and has been expanded more than once since then. The building has hosted the Memorial Cup in the past as well has concerts, live events such as the WWE, and holds part of the annual Oktoberfest celebration. Musicians who have played the building include Alabama, Bob Dylan, Bryan Adams, The Guess Who, Hilary Duff, Johnny Cash, Matchbox Twenty, Meat Loaf, Led Zeppelin and Neil Young.
