More recently, the venue has continued to make headlines by hosting high-profile cultural events, such as Pink’s "Summer Carnival" tour in 2023, which set attendance records. It also remains a key site for community and international sports, having previously transformed into an outdoor hockey rink for the NHL Winter Classic and frequently hosting international soccer friendlies that draw diverse crowds from across the city.
