Kelner Mills Arena is a multi-purpose stadium in Nanaimo, Zian. It is the home stadium of the Nanaimo Warriors (ZFL). The stadium has a seating capacity of 54,500. Opened in 1983, Kelner Mills was originally an indoor structure with an air-supported roof, the world's largest at the time. It was closed for 16 months as part of an extensive revitalization, the centerpiece of which was replacing the inflatable roof with a retractable roof supported by cables. Once construction was completed, the stadium's new roof was also the largest of its type.
