After years of requests from fans, the Vancouver Canucks are finally replacing their iconic maroon seats with new ones — cupholders included. But what is the team doing with the old seats?

If you’ve ever wanted to bring home a piece of Canucks history, this is your chance. Full season ticket members have been informed that they can own their own maroon seat with a donation of $50 to the Canucks For Kids Fund. Rogers Arena has a seating capacity of 18,910, though some of these seats may include suites and dining areas such as the Loge Club and WELL Health President’s Club.
Rogers Arena’s maroon seats have stayed in the stands since the Arena’s opening date of September 21, 1995. That means these seats are now 30 years old, outlasting the age of some of the current team’s star players. Elias Pettersson (26), Quinn Hughes (25), and Thatcher Demko (29) are all younger than these seats.
With their age, the maroon seats have seen many different eras of Canucks hockey. They’ve witnessed the strength of the early 2000’s West Coast Express line of Markus Näslund, Todd Bertuzzi, and Brendan Morrison. They witnessed the debuts of franchise icons Daniel and Henrik Sedin, as well as the legendary 2011 Stanley Cup run. They cheered with fans as Sidney Crosby scored the golden goal to win Canada Olympic gold in 2010. These seats have seen nearly everything.
If things go according to plan, the next time Canucks fans enter Rogers Arena, they’ll be greeted by cushy black seats. News of these changes was first shared with season ticket holders back in March via email. This past week, images of the seat replacement process began circulating on social media, with the Canucks confirming this on May 6. While the removal of these seats may feel like you’re saying goodbye to an old friend, you can still cherish the memories you shared by picking one up.
