Canadian Tire Centre opened in 1996 out in Kanata, west of the city, as the Palladium, then spent years as the Corel Centre and Scotiabank Place before taking its current name in 2013. It is a big, generous bowl built when arenas were built big, and its capacity has been adjusted downwards several times since — the Senators reduced it again for the 2025-26 season, which is why published figures for this building disagree with each other.

Capacity was reduced for the 2025-26 season; published figures range from under 18,000 to 19,347 seats.

The lower bowl (100 level) is wide and its rows along the boards give the reference view of the sheet; the corners at that level are the smart buy because in hockey a corner seat still sees both goals. The club and suite rings sit between the bowls and flatten the angle. The 300 level is high and steep, and at centre ice it is the best cheap hockey view in the building — a long sheet needs height, and this is where you get it. The seats immediately behind a goal are loud and lose the far end, which matters more here than in most buildings because the bowl is long.
