The Regina Exhibition Stadium, also known as the Queen City Gardens, is an indoor arena located in Regina, Saskatchewan. Built in 1919, it is a part of the Regina Exhibition Park and hosted the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League before the construction of the Agridome in 1977. Exhibition Stadium still stands today and is used for agricultural exhibitions, minor hockey, broomball, and other special occasions. It is presently the oldest standing hockey arena in Canada still in use.
In 2007, Evraz Place (the former Exhibition Association in Regina) began a $180-million revitalization program to upgrade or replace rundown or obsolete facilities over a 10-year period. The second phase of the program includes plans to demolish Exhibition Stadium, as well as the auditorium and other old barns.[1][2]
