Spokane Arena (original)
Former sporting venue in the United States / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spokane Arena was a 4,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Spokane, Washington, United States. It was home to the Spokane Canaries Pacific Coast Hockey Association franchise from 1916 to 1917. It was built in 1916.[2] The venue was an open air arena that is said to be among the first to utilize artificial ice and had a capacity variously reported to be 2,300-4,000.[1] The arena was located at the corner of North Elm Street and West Maxwell Drive across the street from Cannon Park in Spokane's West Central neighborhood and The Spokesman-Review roughly estimated the arenas' record attendance figure at about 1,500 for the second home game of the Spokane Canaries.
