Description
The E Center is a 10,100-seat multi-purpose arena in West Valley City, Utah, southwest of Salt Lake City. The arena opened in 1997.
The unusual name refers to both the concept of entertainment and to United Airlines, which used the arena to promote its electronic ticketing program.
Its primary tenant is the Utah Grizzlies ice hockey team. It now plays in the ECHL and from 1995 to 2005 it was a member of the American Hockey League. In 2002, it was the main venue for ice hockey at the Winter Olympic Games. Canada beat the United States in both gold medal games.
