MacEwan University students welcome Rogers Place as new neighbour
Students moving into MacEwan University residence for a new school year Sunday were greeted with a drastically changed downtown neighbourhood from a year ago.

Since move-in day last August, the home away from home for hundreds of post-secondary students has gained new neighbours, already opened or about to launch, in the form of Rogers Place, the Grand Villa Casino Edmonton, the Joey Bell Tower restaurant and the Brewery District.

As developments in Ice District and nearby 104 Street also take shape, students living at the residence at 110 Street and 105 Avenue now find themselves in the middle of an increasingly bustling entertainment and shopping zone.

Rogers Place open house drawing serious crowds
Edmontonians really want to get into Rogers Place.

Free tickets for the Sept. 10 open house were made available online Monday, and in the first two hours 22,000 were given away. Although there's no charge, people have to book online when they want to come see the new arena to help spread out the crowds.

Speaking just after the site went live, Rick Daviss, the city’s executive director of the arena project, said he expected there would be a lot of interest.

“Everybody is really excited right now. They have seen what it looks like on the outside, they want to see what it looks like on the inside,” he said.
