Opened in September 2021, the arena replaced the aging Colisée de Trois-Rivières and seats 4,390 fans.

Starting with the 2021-22 season, its main tenant is the Trois-Rivières Lions professional hockey team in the ECHL.

The new arena cost CA$60 million to construct with a planned opening of late 2020, but had no announced permanent tenants scheduled after UQTR declined the initial lease.

[4] Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec, the planned opening was moved back to early 2021 while the city was in discussions with adding an ECHL expansion team expected to be affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens.

[8] On September 9, 2021, an agreement between Quebecor and the Lions was made to name the arena Colisée Vidéotron for a period of five years.
