The Halifax Metro Centre was built in 1978 in Downtown Halifax , Nova Scotia , Canada . The building is next to the World Trade And Convention Centre , at the foot of Citadel Hill . It is the largest arena in Halifax. In the mid to late 1990s there were numerous renovations to the arena, including the addition of 43 SkyBoxes and 11 "Executive Suites". Before the 2002-03 hockey season, in preparation was for the World Junior Hockey Championship , a new scoreboard and "SilverVision" LED screens were added. The arena concourses feature photographs of the various events that have taken place at the Metro Centre, with one side featuring entertainment events and the other featuring sporting events (including professional wrestling). It currently has a Seating Capacity of about 10,600 for Ice Hockey . The arena is interesting in that it is built into the ground to compensate for the steep elevation. One can see cars, at street level, outside while watching an event. It is sometimes referred to as the "MC". SPORTS TEAMS
