ROGERS PLACE

Rogers Place is Edmonton's modern downtown arena and the centrepiece of Ice District. Opened in 2016 to replace Northlands Coliseum/Rexall Place, it represents the newer generation of Canadian NHL arenas built around premium seating, district development and major concert flexibility. It is the home of the Edmonton Oilers and Edmonton Oil Kings.

Rogers Place is the most architecturally striking NHL arena of the 2010s — a sweeping glass-skinned building anchoring the ICE District revitalization of downtown Edmonton.

Opened in 2016 to replace Northlands Coliseum (Rexall Place), it features a winter garden atrium connected to Edmonton's downtown pedway and an asymmetric bowl designed to maximize sightlines and crowd noise.

The Sportsnet Club, Loge boxes, and SkyLounge premium areas are among the most spacious in any NHL building. Lower bowl 100s offer steep, intimate views; the famed 'Sea of Orange' upper bowl gets ear-splittingly loud in the playoffs.

MacEwan and Central LRT stations are a short walk; the pedway connects the arena directly to Grant MacEwan University and downtown office towers. Event parking from $25 at the adjacent Stantec Tower garage.

Local highlights include Holy Roller burgers, Alley Kat brewery taps, and Three Boars Eatery's concourse outpost. The Ford Hall atrium is open free to the public on non-event days.

Completely indoor and climate-controlled — a welcome refuge in -30°C Edmonton winters.
