Winnipeg Jets (NHL) newest franchise starting play in 2011-12

Manitoba Moose (AHL) (2004-present) Winnipeg Alliance FC (CMISL) (2007)

MTS Centre opened on November 16, 2004, replacing the since-demolished Winnipeg Arena. It can seat 15,003 spectators for ice hockey and up to 16,333 spectators for concerts. It was formerly known as the True North Centre during planning and construction before Manitoba Telecom Services bought the naming rights for $7 million over 10 years.

The MTS Centre is home to the AHL's Manitoba Moose hockey team. This building is known for its excellent sound, which has made Winnipeg a more prominent location for concerts.

A 2008 survey was made by the Pollstar Magazine. Through the first nine months of this year, the MTS Centre has sold 270,095 tickets. These ticket sales include only non-sporting events and do not include hockey games. It is now the 19th busiest arena in the world. Also the arena now sits 11th among facilities in North America, its highest ranking ever, and it remains in the 3rd spot in Canada, after the Bell Centre in Montreal (sixth overall) and the Air Canada Centre in Toronto (fifth overall).
