Winnipeg Arena Attendance History
Winnipeg Arena was the original Jets' NHL home from 1979 until the last game on April 28, 1996. The building came down in 2006. Ticket Timeline helps you log every Jets night you attended there, separate from the club that arrived in 2011.
This building is gone
A Winnipeg Arena stub is not a leftover from a place that no longer matters. The original Jets nights still happened on Maroons Road.
Winnipeg Arena was the original Jets' home in the WHA and the NHL. Tickets said Winnipeg Arena. The 2011 Jets play downtown in a different building.
The last NHL game was April 28, 1996. The Manitoba Moose continued in the building until November 4, 2004. The catalog's lastEventYear is 1996, the NHL departure. Demolition was March 26, 2006.
After demolition the site was parking for Canad Inns Stadium. Polo Park North, a retail and office complex, opened on the footprint in 2013.
Why track Winnipeg Arena attendance?
If your stub says Winnipeg Arena, that is this building — it is gone, demolished in 2006. The original Jets (1979–1996) played here. A later Jets club downtown is a different franchise in a different barn. Polo Park North sits on the old footprint. Log those nights on the Winnipeg Jets (1979–1996) game tracker; this page is the Arena the stub names.
An original Jets stub from Maroons Road is not a night at Canada Life Centre. Ticket Timeline helps you pin each Winnipeg Arena game you attended to the real matchup and roster before the club left for Phoenix.
