Tribute Communities Centre Modernization Project

• Coming from the north side of the building (Athol Street) you can access Rink 1 from the Gate 1 doors, through the furthest doors to the right when looking at the building.
• Coming from the south side of the building (Bruce Street and Red Tilson Lane), you can access Rink 1 from the Ticket Office Entrance ramp through the sliding doors and travel through the Ticket Office Lobby to the main stairwell.

• Access to the venue remains the same through the Rink 2 Entrance at the Southwest corner of the venue.
• Safety fencing has been erected in Red Tilson Lane, which will limit the ability for vehicles to turn around as easily, so we recommend that drop-offs occur in the cutout area on Bruce Street near Rink 2 if necessary.

• Coming from the north side of the building (Athol Street) you can access the Ticket Office from the Gate 1 doors, through the furthest doors to the right when looking at the building.
• Coming from the south side of the building (Bruce Street and Red Tilson Lane), you can access the Ticket Office from the Ticket Office Entrance ramp through the sliding doors.

• Accessible parking on Red Tilson Lane is still available; however, safety fencing does line the general area.  
• Park as you normally would. After exiting your vehicle, proceed north toward Gate 1, but instead of entering at Gate 1, enter via the Ticket Office Entrance ramp by the sliding doors. From Red Tilson Lane, this is the closest way into the building for an event unless you go back toward Bruce Street and over to Gate 3, which is closer to Charles Street but not accessible due to the staircase.

• The building continues to have the same number of accessible entrances.
  • Gate 1 via Athol Street (coming from the North)
  • Gate 1 via Red Tilson Lane through the Ticket Office Lobby (coming from the South)
  • Gate 2 via the ramp located closer to Athol Street and Charles Street (coming from the North & East)

• The most convenient on-site drop-off and pick-up area is on Athol Street right in front of Prospects Bar & Grill in the cutout area. This location is close to the accessible ramp by Gate 2.
• A secondary drop-off and pick-up area is located on Bruce Street near Rink 2 in the cutout area. This location is closer to Gate 3; however, Gate 3 does not have accessible access.  

• Coming from the north side of the building (Athol Street) you can access the Ticket Office from the Gate 1 doors, through the furthest doors to the right when looking at the building.
• Coming from the south side of the building (Bruce Street and Red Tilson Lane), you can access the Ticket Office from the Ticket Office Entrance ramp through the sliding doors.

All entrances remain open; however, Red Tilson Lane and outside Gate 1 will have safety fencing in place, and both areas will feel a little more congested.  We strongly encourage Season Ticket Holders to utilize the Season Ticket Holder entrance and all other guests to utilize Gate 2 or Gate 3 when possible. Private Suite Owners can continue utilizing the Suite Holder Entrance at the southeast corner of the venue. 

Coming from the North (Athol Street)

• Gate 1, Gate 2, and the Season Ticket Holder Entrance will all be open; however Gate 1 will be a little more congested.

Coming from the South (Bruce Street)

• Gate 3 will be open and is usually one of the least used entrances.

Details about the Tribute Communities Centre Modernization Project

The City of Oshawa is undertaking an estimated $50 million investment to modernize the Tribute Communities Centre (TCC).

The modernization of the TCC will include:

• a main entrance expansion;
• fan experience upgrades;
• interior renovations;
• increased spectator seating capacity; and
• an updated concession area.

The modernization will support Oak View Group, the operator of the TCC, in further marketing the facility and attracting more sports and entertainment events, performances and fans by offering an improved experience. The estimated $50 million modernization of the TCC will not impact the tax rate. It will be funded through various sources, including the new Oshawa Generals and Oak View Group agreements, the Municipal Accommodation Tax and additional seat revenue.

The City of Oshawa has awarded the construction management contract for the Tribute Communities Centre modernization project to Stainton Group Inc. A rendering showcasing the envisioned front entrance and enhanced streetscape illustrates the planned transformation of Oshawa’s premier sports and entertainment venue.

Construction will be phased and is anticipated to occur over multiple years to minimize disruption to the Oshawa Generals, Oshawa FireWolves, concerts and other entertainment events.
