Oilers tickets, Casino, fights and food and drinks. always fun here. Just a blast especially if I win

Beautiful place but lack of womens bathrooms, high price drinks and food garners only a 3 star rating from me. I hear the seats in the upper deck are extremely steep, so dont get too drunk if your up that high! read more

I have been to numerous concerts and hockey games at Rogers Place, have sat in the lower and the upper bowl and I have had a wonderful experience every time. Sure the food and drinks are more pricey than at Northlands but it's no different than events I have been to at other arenas in the US and. Canada. Also the food quality is much better than at Northlands. The perogy nachos and the tottine are amazing and filling. The staff I've dealt with have all be kind and helpful. Parking is a thousands times better around Rogers too, it's cheaper, underground and I'm out of downtown quickly. My only complaint is the washroom lines are long but it was like that at Northlands and most other arenas I've been to. I will definitely be renewing my season tickets for years to come and will continue to attend as many concerts as I can. read more

Looks great from the outside but when you come in it is appearant how quick the place was thrown together. On a project of this size you'd think the fit and finish would be better. Cheap fixtures in washrooms, misaligned tile and cracking polished concrete floors to name a few. I remarked how much nicer the floor is in the 40 year old LRT station. read more

Came here for the Kanye concert, was really nice though I had nosebleed seats; they're serious when they mean those seats are way way high. It's actually a little terrifying, especially if your not in a sober state to walk down the steep stairs, that are the nosebleed seats. The food and drinks are overpriced but that's to be granted with the events their providing service for (games, concerts, big comedy shows). Overall a very modern backdrop and welcomed addition to Edmonton downtown. read more

Horrible experience with My family, Went to see the the skills competition and was ripped off on the chuck a puck event, They sold us tickets at the kiosk on the upper deck and gave us 60 seconds to get all the way to the main floor to throw them If you have been before you know it takes at minimum on a slow day 10 min to reach the ice level. Never returned my money and did not even apologize for there poor organizational skills. Never with step in there again! I hope this does not happen to your little kids. read more

I love this facility! The corridors are much larger than Rexall Place and the jumbotron.....it is MASSIVE!!! Great place to take in an OIlers or OilKings game or a concert. There is not a bad seat in the house. My only complaints are the long line ups at washrooms and the prices of the food and drinks. I would advise eating elsewhere before attending an event here. Other than that a first class facility which will hopefully be around for years to come! read more

I have managed to get down to Rogers Place for a few events (Keith Urban and Oil Kings), but last night was my first Oilers game (vs Florida!) in the new barn. We started off the night by taking the LRT from Century Park, I paid my $3.50 parking and our LRT tickets and we were on our way. We didn't want to wait for the NAIT train on the Metro Line, so we just took the regular LRT and got off at Bay Enterprise. It was only a couple of blocks walk and we were there. They have a pedestrian area that you walk through leading right up to Ford Hall. Once we were in, the entrance lines moved fast, we were through it all in under 5 minutes (we got the fast line!!). Then we were off to find our seats. We were in Section 217, so we walked along the main concourse to get to the escalator on the other side of the building (the one by Ford Hall was packed!!). Along our journey, we stopped for some expensive but tasty Nachos, Burritos and bottle water - for $5 a bottle, I was determined to enjoy every single drop of that water. My brother loved his burrito, and the YEG Nachos will always be my go-to. Once we did the very steep (and slightly scary!) walk down to row 3 in our section, we were finally seated and ready to go! We found the seats were tight, but the view was wicked! Being in Row 3, we didn't have problems seeing over the people in front of us, and we had a bird's eye view of the entire rink. And man I'll tell you, that screen is huge!!! With our wicked view of the rink, we only watched the screen when there was a stop in play and they were playing videos or trying to pump the crowd up. I didn't leave my seat the entire game, mainly because I didn't want to do that steep walk down to my seat again. During my other visits to Rogers Place, we sat in different sections of the rink. For Keith Urban, we were in one of the upper rows in the 200's. I will tell you right now, I would not recommend these seats. With the 2nd section being so steep, over half of our view of the rink was blocked (and this was with people sitting back in their seats), and we missed almost everything. It was not an enjoyable experience. For the Oil Kings game, we were in the Lower bowl, those seats were awesome, and there are even cup holders!!! Anywho, after the Oilers game, we walked around for what felt like forever looking for the MacEwan LRT Station. After a lot of wandering and following several different slightly intoxicated Oilers jerseys, we finally found it!! We did see 1 LRT sign, but it certainly did not point us in the right direction. After finally on the platform, we waited very patiently for the LRT to arrive. After 10 minutes it finally did, but because we were at the front of the platform, the train was no where near us. Needless to say, we had to wait for the next one that arrived 15 minutes later. Due to all of this, the slow speed on the Metro Line, and having to change trains at Health Sciences, we finally arrived at Century Park AN HOUR later. It was a late night, but we made it. We didn't want to mess around with the parking downtown, but I think I will be more prepared if I get the opportunity to go to another game and reserve parking ahead of time and go to downtown early to beat the rush. Getting home after midnight is unacceptable. However, I did not include the LRT debacle in my rating, only the lack of signage. All in all, we had a wonderful night out and I can not wait until my next Rogers Place experience!! read more

The arena is amazing! We were blown away with the design and layout of the entire building. There are open spaces where you can flow into to avoid the crowds and countless restaurants, bars and washrooms. The seating options and views are all fantastic. From top to bottom, the building is first-class. read more

See all

It was impressive to see this new arena. But the price of beers is was too high 12 dollars for a can. I'll be pre-drinking befor I go again. Food is pricy too. But it was delicious read more

I've been to 3 concerts here already. I don't like the line ups to get in, but I understand the security. I guess I'm used to Rexall Place where there were so many entrances all around the building. The biggest downer for me was the line ups at the washrooms. Leaving the arena is also crowded. If there was a fire, I'm sure alot of people would die because of the inaccessibility. It's a nice, modern building with access to the casino & smaller ice rink, I'll give it that. read more

Rogers Place is an arena that I found to be comparable to other international, high calibre arenas. Well organized and with high security, this is certainly a venue that meets expectations. Enjoy the restaurant offerings at the nearby casino and area. The arena definitely contributes to the cosmopolitan downtown vibe! Love it! read more

Multipurpose public Sports complex /area located in heart of downtown Edmonton (10220 104 Ave NW,). Used for many different purposes - it houses general ice rink for the public to skate and play local sports- hockey, Casino attached and then the main area- used for Ice Hockey (Oilers/ Oil Kings) and then other venues eg concerts. Online hours and events are posted regulariy and tix are available through Rogers website. Get there a bit early if you want to catch the opening ceremonies before a hockey game or if you want to ensure you get to the seat for an event before it starts. Security lines can be long but i have been lucky to hit a fast lane each time i go. They try their best to be organized to get up to the second level theres a couple of escalators, im not sure single file will last but leave it up to the Edmontonians to be patient and polite with each other to stand single file. Lots to eat and fist level has its clubs and Skybar on top. I believe that the cost you pay for the ticket is what you get but i would like to see more opportunites for people who dont have a lot of money still enjoy going to a hockey game /event that can be affordable to all. Parking lots all around, check out Panda Parking or other apps if you dont already have parking with your season tickets. Otherwise, public transportation.Just remember to double check the LRT lines and times, as there is a switch at Health Sciences! read more

I mean compared to Rexall this place is like the Roman Coliseum. Every world-class amenity a concert goer, hockey fan or event enthusiast could ever dream up and more. My favorite feature is the escalator coming in and my least favorite feature is when I need to use the restroom. People will be blown away from the visual aspect of the building overreaching 104st just to flex a bit. Downtown 'Deadmonton' has turned a new leaf and it is refreshing, thanks largely to Rogers Place. A must-see if you are visiting Edmonton. read more

Love stopping by Studio 99 after a game! Great service from Sherelle and Melissa behind the bar!

this place is good and great if a person got what it takes to enjoy a show or a game then price shouldn't be a damn problem

Got food poisoning from the Nachos in the Club area, No one that works there seems too care or address the issue of poor food quality

Parking is terrible. Food and drink is way over priced. Is a better facility than Coliseum though

I have nothing to complain about unlike other people. You can give the fans the Taj Mahal and they would still find faults because that's what they do. C'mon guys, this place is pretty awesome! read more

Wow. We are soooo lucky to have one of the best rinks in the NHL by far. Start to finish the experience of attending an Oilers game was amazing. Thank you for a great night!!! read more

Best arena in the NHL! So much nicer than Northlands Coliseum! Although I do have very fond memories at the Coliseum!

It's a beautiful Arena, but the upper level is way too steep! Gives me a stomach ache. The food is pretty good, u get decent sized proportions. However, the cost of the alcohol, WAY OVER PRICED! You can go drink before or even at the casino for way cheaper than that crap! Other than that, nice job city of Edmonton and Katz! read more

This is a beautiful arena with nice seats (we had drink rail seats) and awesome acoustics. Unfortunately, the price for food is insanely high, considering the fact that taxpayers had to pay for half of the arena, and we are not allowed to get tap water. The area around the arena is a huge issue in my opinion, as driving around there can be quite crazy, but it has decent access to public transportation. read more

The facility is very modern, and I enjoyed visiting the Arena complex, but it must expand the space. At Rexall place the stadium was much more expansive. Also, the top is going to have you killed, It has little to no fencing, meaning it's best you get Mezzanine One or Ice Level seating. In retrospect to my visit, I found it none other than of utter discomfort and torment. The lack of sufficient legroom will give you a cramp on account of standing, and if there was a fire on Ice Level, those seated in the first 10 rows would be engulfed in the flame*. Otherwise, it's pretty good if you're not sitting. *Assuming the building is at the maximum legal capacity read more

Great addition to downtown Edmonton, seats are comfortable and have cup holders (neat!) would be 5, however, I found it too warm.

It's a pretty building, but I will NEVER go there again. I went to Cirque du Soleil and an Oil Kings game there and both times, everyone in my party was very alarmed with the pitch of the seats/stairs into our section. If you took a tumble, it seems very easy to get seriously injured or worse, if you fell over the balcony. There is no lighting along the stairs nor valets to show you to your seat in the dark during events where the house lights are off, making it even less safe (and I hope you aren't even considering using one or both hands to carry food or drinks!). On the topic of food: $24 for a slice of dominoes pizza and a can of Sprite? Get real! At the hockey game, we left halfway through the second period because it was so noisy that several people had just had enough. The kids loved the game, but the experience was otherwise disagreeable. Overall, I'm glad that some Edmontonians are enjoying this venue, but I regret that this tax payer subsidized arena complex is not something that my family will ever partake in utilizing. read more

I've been to Rogers place for a couple of hockey events. It's a huge place, and it can be hard to find things, especially bathrooms. I was up in the nose bleeds and it took me forever to find bathrooms. When I did, the hand dryers were set up right in front of the line-up to use the urinals. What's with that? Concessions were good and the beer was cold. The place looks awesome. read more

I can't begin to describe my excitement for our new arena and all the wonderful events, hockey games and memories it will bring! After living on 104 St for 3 years I've been waiting for something to liven up the sometimes sleepy downtown core. The arena does just that, and it will only get better! So far I've been to three hockey games and my first impressions are mostly positive. Aesthetically I think it's very appealing! From the entrance that is super open and inviting, boasting vaulted ceilings and bright lights, to the easily accessible bars, bathrooms and seating. The seats we purchased this year are awesome and even have cup holders! Pros: - Perogie station!!!! Sooooo good! - Short bar lines - Spacious places to stand during period breaks - HUGE jumbotron so you never miss a moment no matter where you're sitting - Hunter the mascot - sure he kinda looked like a meth cat at first but he really grows on you and the kids all love him. He actually adds a lot to our team I think. - Big bathrooms, even if there's a line, they seem to move fast. - Rink media, sound and lights I think are all awesome! Can't wait for tomorrow's official game! - Crowds and lines in and out I find move much faster and smoother then rexall ever did. Cons - Bar staff needs more practice but that's to be expected and will come with time - My biggest complaint is the gold seats club downstairs. It soooo overcrowded and smells like fried onions and food. Honestly I much preferred the club at Rexall. I actually now stay upstairs at the bar because it's faster and you can move around comfortably. I feel like they increased the number of gold seat tickets and decreased the club size. Honestly it's not worth the extra $$$$. - Skye Lounge, we were so excited for the new upstairs "nightclub" everyone was talking about. The first game we tried to go up and were turned away because apparently gold seat season tickets don't get you up there?! I've heard that you can purchase tickets and get up there but honestly it should've been clear when we purchased or included!! Other than that I'm very happy and excited for what's to come. I'm positive my review will raise as time goes on and the kinks are worked out. As a note a lot of people complain about the prices for tickets, food and drinks. I get it, it's expensive. However, what people have to realize is the reason it's so expensive is because instead of raising city taxes for everyone it's set up so that those who use the arena are helping fund the arena. Over 100 million dollars of the original projected cost was to come from sales and truthfully I think that's fair in my opinion. read more

Came for a couple games and really liked it. It sucks you cant smoke anymore but I adjusted. The beers get ya drunk!

Love the new building. Great addition to Edmonton's downtown core! A few minor kinks to work out, but a great building to see a hockey game in! read more

Pretty classy. I've only sat in the lower bowl and it is awesome!, When we toured, I thought the upper bowl section was quite steep. Food is great too.....not enough washrooms would be my only complaint read more

What an amazing building..... I have only been to hockey so far. but very very cool. Food was great, very organized and a lot less congestion when trying to move from one area to the next. read more

Hello, I recently broke my ankle and this meant I could not get to my seats on the 3rd row of the Dixie Chicks concert. I arrived in a wheelchair, was directed to Guest Services and then to the Box office where I was given a wheelchair accessible/unobstructed view for me and my Daughter. The customer service all night was amazing ! There was enough room everywhere that I did not have to be crowded or bumped in my chair. The only downfall is that the handicap/family washrooms have become the place to SMOKE in. The bathrooms seem to be next to all regular bathrooms, are big and have change tables. It was a very good experience !! read more

Unreal and new design, only downfall is price on many events and games and vendors and beer is very high but definitely worth it.

Went to my first event at Rogers place! I saw Cirque de Soleil's Toruk. The show was fabulous and due to the steepness of the chairs, you definitely have a great view from any seat for the show. The only huge downside is that there are NOT enough women's washrooms. The line before the show was insane, probably about 50 people lined up outside the women's washroom. We had to head to the family washroom and still wait in a line of about 10 people. How can a new facility still not know how many washrooms to include? read more

The arena is poorly designed...the upper bowl is horrendously designed ....you cannot see the ice if people in front of you are not seated straight up in their seats!! The seats and leg room are so tight that it is disgusting what they charge you to sit in these seats! Whomever designed this should never work again!! I'm calling Calgary so they have the heads up and not make the same stupid mistake in their new arena. The escalators also don't work! What a horrible experience... read more

Just awful! How did they manage to make it worse than Rexall? Bad service, bad seating, bad food, overpriced everything. Avoid at all costs. Even if it means not watching a game. read more

Beautiful building, nice lighting, good seating but lack of washroom facilities means I will stay home and watch games. Who pays 11.99 for a drink to stand in line for 20 minutes to use the washroom. Bad planning! I won't be back. read more

Doesn't feel like an arena. Sure its brand new, but I don't like the feel of it. If you forget something in your vehicle, you cannot come back in!!! What a stupid rule. read more

Highly offended by my experience. my dad took me to my first ever hockey game, thought it would be a nice fun pre-christmas thing to surprise me with... and lets just say, the whole experience was miserable because of how I was treated at the door. the security made me throw out my EMPTY back pack because it was a back pack... I saw women in the arena with purses bigger than my bag, with no problems.... women carry their whole world in their bag, rein-acting marry poppins. and my empty backpack was apparently a problem. I am thoroughly disgusted. I understand if I was maybe, using a bag with secret compartments... like the ones that have pockets with wine compartments. (because those are real, and I guarantee I'd get in with one of them.) I even turned it up side down and shook it to prove my entirely empty bag was harmless. nope. screw the new fan getting a christmas gift and seeing a hockey game for the first time. I would understand if this wasn't my first visit, I have never had my stuff been thrown in the trash before, at any other public venue. as security, you should be able to read the room and see the difference between a harmless empty bag... and a bad guy with a bag. duh! yeah you've got a tight ship to run, but wow. Good job sucking the joy out of Christmas for me guys. Never going back there. read more
