The Spokane Chiefs are a major junior ice hockey team that plays in the Western Hockey League. Its home games take place in the Spokane Arena. The sports team consistently ranks in the top 10 of Canadian Hockey League attendance, as their devoted fan base only continues to grow with each season. The Chiefs are no strangers to victory, either, as they have won the Memorial Cup in 1991 and 2008.
History and drama converge at the Bing Crosby Theater, also known as the Metropolitan Performing Arts Center. This structure originally opened in 1915 as the Old Clemmer Theatre and has since been added to the National List of historic Places. The stage in this vintage venue has been the place where several classic performances have taken place, among them such notable stage presentations of Gone with the Wind and The Godfather. Today, it is widely considered to be Spokane's most impressive venue where ballets, plays, classical concerts, and other entertainment still electrifies audiences.
