About UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre

The Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre sits on the University of British Columbia campus at 6066 Thunderbird Blvd, Vancouver, BC. This on-campus multi-arena complex is home to Thunderbird Arena (the main arena), Father David Bauer Arena, and Protrans Arena. The venue has a rich history hosting world-class events—from Olympic ice hockey to high-profile tennis and basketball ties—while continuing to serve UBC and the surrounding community with concerts, broadcasts, and sporting events.

Accessibility, parking, and dining options are built to serve large events and campus visitors. Public transit via TransLink is convenient, with on-campus bus routes and route planning available to help you reach the venue with ease.
