The Adirondack Bank Center at the Utica Memorial Auditorium is a 3,815-seat multi-purpose arena in Utica, New York, with a capacity of 5,700 for concerts. Affectionately known as "The AUD" by local citizens, it is the home arena of the Utica Comets, the AHL affiliate of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks.
One of the arena's defining features was its roof system. Designed by Lev Zetlin, it was the first arena in the world to feature a pre-stressed cable based roof. Which since has become the standard building method for tension roofs. It was also one of the first arenas to feature telescopic seating across the entire venue and not just the nosebleed sections.
Otop of the aforementioned Comets, the Arena has been host to other sporting events over the years. These includes the 1962 NCAA D-1 Frozen Four as well as the 2017 D-3 Frozen Four; Utica College Pioneers home venue and Utica City FC. The actual game scenes from the 1977 cult film Slap Shot were filmed in the venue as well.
