Is that a big digital display board on the west end?

It is. I believe there is a digital banner that wraps around the south side as well (not 100% sure though).

Word on the street is there is a mural of McJesus in the arena that is currently covered but he has the C on his chest.

He shoots, he Sykoras

There's also big picture of McJesus with Katz Jr on the south side by the main entrance. The place looks pretty good overall, although the cattle boards they're putting up to herd the masses into the Wintergarden look pretty rustic.

Traffic nightmare this week as they panic to finish it up!!!

That's not a true statement, is it? Does anyone have a phot?

It is true. Katz jr is on the wall, but who cares.. the kid will own this team if his Dad get tired of his play thing.

Regardless.

Today is a major day for Edmonton, and a marking of a huge milestone. Controversial as it is, this is a major step forward for our city. Still dislike the deal overall, I'm pleased of the product we, as citizens, produced.

The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.

That's amazing. So strange that Katz hates the spotlight himself, but continually pushes his son in to it in ways that have to be somewhat awkward for him. Yeah, I'm sure it's fun to hang around the fringes of the team sometimes - taking the Lucic tour for example - but he sets him up for ridicule, and I don't think the owner's son hanging out with the team is ever going to approximate Katz's time hanging out with the 80s Oilers as a peer of some sort...it's a totally different dynamic. Very awkward.

Awkward is a state of mind, Adam. If Katz the Younger doesn't find it awkward, then it isn't awkward. You can't push that feeling onto him.

Hey, it's his team and his building (technically it's the City's building but who's counting), he's allowed to do whatever he wants with it.

I'm also allowed to think it's totally ridiculous.

Yeah, I can't say I care much if people can't leave and re-enter. I'm not a smoker, but I can't recall ever leaving a building during an event and then coming back. I don't think there's anything that I can't keep from doing for 2.5 hours, and so I think if someone can't go that long without a smoke, they should maybe be examining just how addicted they are (although, that's admittedly pretty judgy of me to say).

I've heard that the biggest reason for this may be that they don't want people heading to Mercer or some other pub and then drinking cheaper booze during the intermission. At Rexall that was never a problem because you were risking stabbing by entering any of the drinking holes around that rink but there's going to be more options and closer options at the new rink.

Only time it might be present a real problem is if we have a repeat of Game 3 of the 1997 Oilers/Stars series...

Take a hardline on smokers and drinkers all you want, but smokers and drinkers will find a way. Ban people from being allowed to smoke outdoors? They'll smoke indoors. Ban people from finding cheap booze? I'll bring it with me. But hey, zero tolerance policies for the win!!!

All the way to the white house!


I hope security is authorized to beat down anyone caught smoking in the arena, and then deport them to Mexico.

Take a hardline on smokers and drinkers all you want, but smokers and drinkers will find a way. Ban people from being allowed to smoke outdoors? They'll smoke indoors. Ban people from finding cheap booze? I'll bring it with me. But hey, zero tolerance policies for the win!!!


All the way to the white house!


I hope security is authorized to beat down anyone caught smoking in the arena, and then deport them to Mexico.

And then they can pay for the wall to keep them out!

Smokers are like nature in Jurassic Park. They find a way.

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

I find it a little bit big brother. And I'm far from an anti establishment guy.

You pay big bucks and you can't leave and return? Provided you are not overly intoxicated, willing to get frisked by security again and miss the first 1st faceoff, be able to walk in and out that door as often as you want.

I guess if someone with leukemia needs thc, he or she should just blaze up in their seat.

I don't smoke, but this is dumb!




I didn't think you could get back into Rexall once you left the building.

Rexall had smoking areas that you could go to that were fenced off...

Never saw those there, always just stepped outside away from the doors and smoked.

It is true. Katz jr is on the wall, but who cares.. the kid will own this team if his Dad get tired of his play thing.



Hey, it's his team and his building (technically it's the City's building but who's counting), he's allowed to do whatever he wants with it.

I'm also allowed to think it's totally ridiculous.


Please don't think I was telling you how to think or feel, that's not my intention or ever.. I was merely expressing my opinion on thinking it's a non issue. You're free to feel or think how you want.


No, no. No worries. I wasn't upset by your comment at all, nor did I take it as you telling me how to feel.


You need to feel shame for making him feel that way!!!!

Don't tell him how to feel.

Regardless.

Today is a major day for Edmonton, and a marking of a huge milestone. Controversial as it is, this is a major step forward for our city. Still dislike the deal overall, I'm pleased of the product we, as citizens, produced.


Wouldn't it be awesome if his kid ended up being some no-bullcrap owner that demands success and is willing to fire guys like Lowe/MacT? One can dream right?

It worked in Chicago. Hey! Maybe we are following the Chicago model and all we have to do is wait for someone to die.... Perish the thought.

That's just weird. The owners son needs to be plastered on the wall? Weird or creepy? I can't decide.

I really don't understand what makes this owner tick. From his blind jock sniffing man crush of the OBC to this.

Obviously a great business man, but a bit of a goofball too. It's like he actually thinks like a kid still. I wonder if Willie Wonkas chocolate factory is his favorite movie?

I don't mind it. The more that kids feels tied to the oil the better it is for the city as it lessens the possibility of a sale or move so my kids and grandkids will hopefully get to enjoy a stable hockey franchise.

Wayne has christened the ice at Rogers Place! That guy.. he either really loves the team and the city or the Oilers paid a little something for him to be here (sorry.. sorry.. being cynical)

Actually no he didn't, he may have skated on it today but it was actually McDavid that christened it, last Thursday when the keys were handed over.

No Pouliot christened it. He made the ice Christ like.

2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!

Lol.. this thread has taken a very reddit turn.. great comments by all.

As for the smoking this the cheap booze is a great point, but when there are restrictions people will find a way to get around the issue and do what they want.

Is smoking really the reason for this or is it deeper? What if your car alarm is going off and you receive a notification and need to check on it? Could that be a reason for no re-entry?

In other arenas that have this policy they do allow you to go out and come back in if there is an emergency, so there is leniency I'd have to think.

Yeah, I mean, I guess this is just the world we live in. I wasn't aware of it becoming standard practice around North America, but if it is, then I guess we will all just have to adjust.

For me, it won't be an issue since I don't smoke and don't know if I've ever really left with the intention of coming back into an event. Still, I guess I have some empathy. I agreed with bars and restaurants making smokers go outside (my brother is an asthmatic, and to me his right to breathe trumps smokers rights), but I never had a problem if people wanted to go outside to do their thing.

My guess is probably the manner in which this all happens. Security to get into the building takes its time, sometimes your in line for like 10 minutes, thorough investigation of all bags, coats, etc. Then the intermission hits, a mass number of people exit and then they all want to re-enter really quickly to get back for puck drop and so every one is rushing. Maybe it has to do with avoiding that rush of people into the game and fear of security missing something upon re-entry.

Went to the public tour today. Was absolutely amazed. Such a great job by everyone involved. The sight lines are fantastic, even for the seats at the very back. I'm a bit concerned with how some of the materials will hold up (railings, carpeting everywhere), but for now it looks great. The biggest surprised for me was how neat the PCL loge was laid out. I'd like to watch a game from there.

Holy makeral, the food prices are crazy though.
