Information about Bon Jovi MTS Centre

Bon Jovi began in Sayreville, New Jersey, where Jon & his 2 brothers were raised by they parents. By his early teens, Jon was hanging out at local clubs, convinced that 1 day he would be a rock star. By the time he was 16, Jon was playing clubs. It was not long before he hooked up with keyboardist David Bryan, who played with him in a 10 piece rhythm & blues band called Atlantic City Expressway. Jon also performed with bands called The Rest, The Lechers & John Bongiovi & the Wild Ones. Meanwhile, Richie Sambora was also performing locally with a funk & fusion band called "Extremes", before hooking up with Alec John Such in the band "The Message". After The Message, Alec played with Tico Torres in Phantom's Opera. The members of Bon Jovi crossed paths in these early days, but the current lineup didn't come together until March of 1983 after the 1rst Bon Jovi single, "Runaway," had become a hit. In one of those scenarios, right person, right place, right time, Jon managed to get a job at a recording studio. Jon's cousin, Tony Bongiovi, was a co/owner of the Power Station in New York City. Jon had written "Runaway," & in 1980, he recorded the demo of the song.

A local radio station WAPT included "Runaway" on a compilation tape, & the song started getting some serious airplay. "Runaway" got Jon noticed, & by touring he could capitalize on the popularity of the song. To support the single Jon gave Dave, Alec & Tico a call, & finally Richie signed on, & the band came together. At 1 show, where they opened for Scandal, the band caught the attention of record exec Derek Shulman, who signed them to PolyGram Records. PolyGram toyed with the name, before Shulman anglicized John Bongiovi's name to Bon Jovi. Their self titled debut came out January 21 st, 1984. Filled with the groups now signature power ballads & hooked filled tunes underscored by soaring guitar riffs & well crafted melodies, the album went gold. The album was a rugged soulful collection of songs about how tough it is being a teenager. Bon Jovi released their follow up album, "7800 Fahrenheit", in April 1985; it sold equally to its predecessor. A few tours opening for Kiss, Judas Priest & the Scorpions had helped Bon jovi build up a considerable fan base which appreciated the band's songs & powerful stage presence.

Slippery When Wet, the band's 3 rd album, provided the break trough the band needed. Powered by songs like "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Wanted Dead or Alive" & "Livin' on a Prayer", the LP went gold & platinum simultaneously within 6 weeks of its release. By April of 1987, "Slippery When Wet" sold 7 million copies worldwide. Bon Jovi won the American Music Award & People's Choice Awards for Band Of The Year, & MTV gave Bon Jovi a Best Performance Award for the video "Livin' on a Prayer". By the time the Slippery Tour finished in Hawaii on October 17 th, 1987, the album had sold in excess of 14 million copies, putting it in the same league as Michael Jackson's Thriller.

Information about the MTS Centre

True North Sports & Entertainment Limited is the owner of the Manitoba Moose and is the owner, developer, and operator of Winnipeg 's downtown multi-purpose sports and entertainment centre, the MTS Centre. In 2003, True North acquired the ownership of the Moose hockey franchise to create a single ownership entity for the new facility and the team, which has been the facility's anchor tenant since the building opened in Fall 2004. The President and CEO of True North is Jim Ludlow.

As building owner and developer, True North has completed construction on the 15,000+ seat entertainment, sports, performing arts and community events facility at a prominent address on Portage Avenue in the heart of downtown. The total capital cost was $133.5 million, with the private sector providing $93 million and the public sector $40.5 million toward the capital cost of the facility.

The MTS Centre is seen as the major catalyst in Winnipeg 's ongoing business and cultural renaissance that includes new and planned initiatives for sports, tourism, education, business, entertainment and dining in the downtown.

The distinctive design by Denver , Colorado architects Sink Combs Dethlefs reflects and illuminates Portage Avenue and the surrounding area, bringing new light, life and animation to Winnipeg streets. Its unique architecture combines contemporary glass and steel design with a warm red brick exterior that fits into the fabric of Winnipeg's storied downtown and recalls the tradition of historic Canadian sports edifices like the Montreal Forum and Maple Leaf Gardens.

The design incorporates the features and spectator amenities of the best new- generation entertainment and sports centres built across North America in recent years. It includes a private suite level, rental party suites, an extensive club seat package, quality food outlets, and a Moxie's restaurant. It also features three wide concourses, a Moose sports retail store, ample washrooms and redevelopment of the old Eaton's Powerhouse into the sports pub Tavern United as well as seveal floors of new office space.

The first principles of the design are excellent sight lines from every seat, superb acoustics for concerts and the best ambience and amenities for sports of all kinds - hockey, basketball, curling, arena football, lacrosse, indoor soccer - including international and championship events like World Junior Hockey and the Brier. MTS Centre can accomodate up to 17,000 concert-goers, but can just as easily be curtained down to create an intimate concert entertainment setting for audiences as small as 2,500.

The convergence of sports and entertainment, retail and restaurants in one place is designed to create a total visitor experience extending to times before and after the featured event. Four connections to Winnipeg 's skywalk system will link the centre to thousands of heated indoor parking stalls and easy access to and from the facility.

The MTS Centre is Canada 's newest major market sports and entertainment centre. It provides an exciting lineup of entertainment and sports events designed to energize and inspire more than 800,000 fans to visit the city's downtown every year to embrace and utilize the community's newest landmark and source of civic pride.
