TECHNOLOGY
Rogers Place will be the most technologically enabled sport facility in all of North America when it opens its doors in 2016. Signing an unprecedented 13-year telecommunications sponsorship deal with the Oilers at the onset of the 2013-14 NHL season, Rogers Communications will leverage its extensive network and multiplatform content investments to enhance fans’ experiences throughout future games and events at Rogers Place.
The building will have extensive infrastructure to bring the latest and greatest technology to our customers and will be fully wired for high-speed WiFi. Your smart device will equip you with the necessary tools to find the shortest concession and washroom line-ups, access interactive apps for hockey fans or concert goers and boast overall better integration; Rogers Place will be a technological marvel.
Technology will also be at the heart of game and event presentation. The centre-hung scoreboard, broadcasting the action in super high-definition and on LED screens throughout the arena, will help deliver a vivid and engaging experience.
LOCATION
Rogers Place and the Edmonton Arena District will be the place to be in downtown Edmonton. It will be the premier destination for sports and entertainment with all of the restaurant and bar choices you could imagine. We will gather together to watch the best action in our city and around the world.
Rogers Place and its additional spaces will play a key role in attracting private development that will make up the arena district. Edmonton’s downtown core will start to see a welcome boost of restaurants, retail spaces and accommodations that will enliven and enrich the heart of our city.
While there’s no doubt Rogers Place will be the hub of the Arena District, there are four other integral components of the project: the community rink, Winter Garden, LRT connection, and pedestrian walkway.
Rogers Place is designed with the idea of accessibility at the forefront. Families will be able to enjoy an afternoon of skating or an evening of Grant MacEwan Griffins’ hockey at the community rink, along with the opportunity to take in Oilers and Oil Kings practices. Those who work downtown will have plenty of vibrant spaces to meet for lunch or take an indoor stroll with year-round access to the Winter Garden.
GETTING THERE
Rogers Place will be accessible to all patrons. Fully integrated in the downtown roadway and public transportation system, including the new MacEwan LRT stop on the north side of the facility, you’ll have plenty of commuting options to access Rogers Place. In fact, there are seven LRT stops within walking distance upon Valley Line completion. There are also more than 11,800 parking spots within a 10 minute walk.
Rogers Place has been designed with barrier-free access at all entrances and will be well served by a designated barrier-free drop-off on 104 Ave. The LRT and ETS buses including DATS will also provide full access to the arena.
The District parking plan remains under development, but parking access for barrier-free patrons will be provided.
GREEN INITIATIVES
