It’s hard to believe how much the Northlands Coliseum has changed since it first opened in 1974. This building truly was built for hockey. We were lucky enough to visit one last time, so take a look at how it stands today.

👍❤️ Beautiful tribute to a historic building.
As I flames fan it's still hard to see an old iconic barn come to an end. Been there a few times too. Farewell!
I was sitting in the seat behind the net not the best seats and I saw Kurri Gretzky's night to tie Gordie Howe's 1850🇨🇦
Return to glory let's see🇨🇦
I lived near the coliseum when I was a kid in the 80s after the second period started they wouldn't guard the doors I would walk right in and was able to see most every team free.
wow… lots of feelings seeing that arena over the years knowing how it's headed to demolition soon. thanks for putting this together!
I’m blessed to have witnessed a few games played here. First game I went to I recall we won. I didn’t have a jersey on but the kid next to me did. We scored a goal and the camera man saw us and took video of us onto the scoreboard and I grabbed the Oilers jersey front part with one hand and pointed to it with my other hand all excited as we were broadcast. My grandpa got him and my bro and I tickets to the game but we all sat in separate seats as we couldn’t get 3 seats together. What an experience at my first game. I was maybe 10 or older. I’m sure my gramps helped me find my seat before he got his. I didn’t know the other child next to me then haha. Several years later I was at another one with friends, knowing we lost that game.
Had a season ticket for much of the '80's…saw them win the 1st Cup, dethroning the Islanders & Wayne's last one, our 4th. Many great concerts, too‼️
