Deficiencies or design oversights occur on every project and are typically resolved post-occupancy without much issue, however, Rogers Place had significant HVAC issues, had to add a humidification system, new fans and likely other elements of that system.

There were some issues with the sanitary system right after it opened. I recall some of our group going in to determine the problem. I was consulted on that portion. And do remember the Roof exhaust fans blowing over in a super high wind. We watched that from our office. The Mechanical was designed out of country even though there was local support. They missed a lot of climate issues.

I think this was posted in another thread, but Rogers Place is hosting a WNBA exhibition game on Sunday May 5; the Los Angeles Sparks vs. the Seattle Storm. This will be only the second time a WNBA game has been played in Canada. I am wondering if this is a test game for the WNBA and the OEG to gauge if there is enough interest here to support a WNBA team. It would be great if we can get a large crowd for this game and maybe put Edmonton on the WNBA's radar for any expansion franchises. It looks like the WNBA has a 40 game regular season running from mid May to mid September (or so). According to statista.com, the average attendance for a WNBA game was 6,615 during the 2023 regular season. It would be great to get another professional sports franchise here filling dates at Rogers during what is a rather soft part of the event calendar (i.e. hockey off-season). Having another 7,000+ people downtown over 20 nights (average of one night per week) over the May to September time frame would be great for Rogers and our downtown core. Here's hoping for a big crowd on May 5. Based on the tickets sales to date we may get that - by eye, it looks like about 50% of the tickets are already sold (see below).
