Evraz Place

Evraz Place, formerly known as Regina Exhibition Park, is a 102-acre (0.41 km2) sport complex and exhibition grounds in Regina, Saskatchewan, operated by the Regina Exhibition Association Limited. The area is home to the new Mosaic Stadium,[1] Brandt Centre, a 6000-seat concert and sporting facility; the Queensbury Convention Centre, a convention and banquet facility; the Credit Union EventPlex, a 95,000-square-foot (8,800 m2) multi-use facility with a regulation-size soccer field; and the Cooperators Centre, a 6-rink hockey facility. From 1919 to 2017, the area was also home to the Regina Exhibition Stadium, which has been demolished to construct a trade centre on this site.[2]

Evraz Place hosts most of Regina’s major events, including the Canadian Western Agribition. It is home to the WHL’s Regina Pats, Regina Soccer Association, and has hosted such events as the 2006 Tim Horton's Brier, 2007 Canadian Country Music Awards, 2008 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the 2010 World Junior Hockey Championship and the 2011 Ford World Men's Curling Championship.
