Why track Canadian Tire Centre attendance?
If your stub says The Palladium, Corel Centre, or Scotiabank Place, that is this same Ottawa building — not a different arena. Canadian Tire Centre is the later name. Senators nights belong on the Ottawa Senators game tracker. Ottawa Civic Centre was a different barn. Log those nights on the team page; this page holds the room those tickets share.
The printed name on an Ottawa ticket has changed three times. Ticket Timeline matches The Palladium, Corel Centre, and Scotiabank Place tickets to the Senators games you actually attended.
- Log Senators home games you personally attended—not today's crowd count or a live scoreboard.
- Match tickets printed The Palladium, Corel Centre, or Scotiabank Place to this same venue.
- Keep Ottawa Civic Centre stubs on that earlier barn—not mixed in as this building.
- Count this building toward your wider NHL arena progress across every barn you've visited.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.
