Fan Tips

Bell Centre delivers one of the most iconic and electric atmospheres in hockey, serving as home to the Montreal Canadiens.

Located in downtown Montreal, the arena is easily accessible by metro, car, and rideshare.

The seating bowl is steep and designed to amplify crowd noise, creating an intense game-day environment.

Concessions include traditional options along with Quebec favorites.

After the game, fans can explore downtown Montreal’s restaurants, bars, and nightlife.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

All bags larger than 14"x14"x6" such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena.  All bags are subject to inspection before entry.

Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.
