Integration with planned surroundings is a paramount principle. The best examples are places like AT&T Park in San Francisco or Petco Park in San Diego. Very similar contexts in their cities.

Agreed. I’ve been to many massive arenas and stadiums that walking around 3/4 of them is just blank walls, loading bays and blank steel fire rated exit doors.
I haven’t been to Rogers in Edmonton and definitely won’t ever be going but from Sportsnets fascination with overplayed drone cam footage every time they play it looks like most of the interface with the street is uninviting. I should look it up on street view.
