Winter Games Tickets And Seating Chart
The 2010 Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver
, British Columbia, Canada and promises to be a fascinating collection of winter games you won't want to miss. Officially recognized as the XXI Olympic Winter Games, the dates of the 21st Winter Olympics will be held February 12 through 28, 2010. For these set of winter games, fans will be able to enjoy the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, which have been organized by the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC).
Starting with the Vancouver 2010 logo, which is called llanaaq the lnunnguaq. This colorful symbol was chosen for its unique design and meaning, which is "friend". The 2010 winter games mark the third time that the Olympics have been hosted by Canada. In both 1976 and 1988, Montreal and Calgary hosted the summer and winter games respectively. In 2010, it is estimated that more than 80 nations will participate and that roughly 5,500 athletes will be on hand to demonstrate the world's finest athletic abilities.
The list of sports and games that will be included in the 2020 winter games includes alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsleigh, cross-country skiing, curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, Luge, Nordic combine, short track speed skating, skeleton, ski jumping, snowboarding and speed skating. Categorized into ice sports, Nordic events and alpine, the winter games in 2010 are already shaped up to be a fantastic series of events for those who appreciate the beauty of the Canadian countryside and these competitive games.
Those who were expecting to see mixed double curling, team alpine skiing, team bobsled, team skeleton, team luge, women's ski jumping and biathlon mixed relay will find that these games have been rejected for the 2010 winter games but may be open for consideration in the future and were given consideration for women in the Continental Cup that was held back in January this year.
The 2010 Winter Games ice hockey competitive events will be held at Canada Hockey Place. Located at 800 Griffiths Way in Vancouver, Canada Hockey Place is the home of the Vancouver Canucks. This full sized indoor arena was built in 1995 to replace the Pacific Coliseum and is the main venue destination in Vancouver. With a seating capacity of nearly 19,000, the 2010 Winter Games events being held at Canada Hockey Place promise to be interesting, to say the least.
For the most part, any Olympic event held at this venue tends to sell tickets out quickly and the expectation is that the 2010 Winter Games will be no exception. For those who want to know a little history behind the name Canada Hockey Place, this main venue for Vancouver is actually known as General Motors Place. However, because they are corporate sponsors who cannot brand sporting venues, the building has temporarily been renamed to Canada Hockey Place for the 2010 Winter Games.
Not only is ice hockey regarded by many as the favorite sport of Canada, but the Olympics has traditionally drawn out large crowds of fans who want to get a good seat and view of the action on the ice. Canada Hockey Place, located in the downtown area of Vancouver, has already served more than 10 million visitors. Whether you want options in the upper level seating area or to get close enough to the ice to see the players smile when they score a goal, the choices are available but the best seats in the house are sure to get sold out quickly.
If you're thinking about getting to Canada Hockey Place and witnessing some of these fantastic sports feats on ice, now is a great time to secure your tickets for the 2010 Winter Games.
