I’m excited about a new arena, and adding a modern touch to some of the flaws the Dome presented, but just having new versions of the same old experience isn’t going to do it for me. Honestly, if you built an indoor plus 15 from the Saddledome to the Cowboys Casino, we’d already be ahead of Rogers Place IMO.
Let’s blow Edmonton out of the water on this new arena, like we do everything else. Go Calgary.

Bathroom design got cut when costs escalated and the city didn’t want to kick in more money. The original bathrooms were hilariously bad. Some improvements have made them a little better. But that’s the risk of the city being involved.
