Yes, they have! It's a great family-friendly option for people to get out in the summer. Just under 4000 people yesterday.I have seen a few companies on social hosting events there; even had a friend who has not been to a game in about 10yrs send me photos with him and a group of friends there Sat.
It's clear that they have done a good job and have some momentum.
Good to see both the Stingers and Riverhawks killing it!
That baseball diamond needs some transit or something though (gondola?) to help with parking and getting people there. Not a great in/out. I don’t care cause I just bike, but I have friends who won’t go because of traffic. (They added secure bike parking like beauties though).
Likely 10+ years away though sadly.Rossdale redevelopment should take care of that. RE/MAX Field is on the left in the pic.

It's too bad FC Edmonton was not able to create this same level of interest and success. There's a lot of soccer fans in Edmonton, too.![]()
Edmonton sports newcomers thrive at gate while established Elks crowd numbers dive
Good, old-fashioned promotional efforts are what executives from both baseball’s Edmonton Riverhawks and basketball’s Edmonton Stingers say are helping draw thousands of people to their games this year.edmonton.ctvnews.ca
Just like the Elks they weren't winning enough, and people started losing interest unfortunatelyIt's too bad FC Edmonton was not able to create this same level of interest and success. There's a lot of soccer fans in Edmonton, too.
But really glad to see what's happening with these two other sports.
I don't know about the Riverhawks, but in the Stingers' defense, they were league champions 2 years in a row (and are the defending champions), despite this year's underwhelming results. That tends to increase the engagement level. I doubt that if they fail to improve their records for another two or 3 seasons they'll see the same level of fan engagement.Just like the Elks they weren't winning enough, and people started losing interest unfortunately
Riverhawks are 10-24 and the stingers are 6th out of 10 teams in the standings. So both have losing records but are still getting great engagement. I think the marketing and fan experiences are just a lot better than what the elks are doing. 20 straight losses is undeniably hard to overcome though too. That’s gotta be fixed to give marketing a chance haha.
The Muttart LRT stop is relatively close, it's too bad the area it's in is so bad for functional (not recreational) active transportation.That baseball diamond needs some transit or something though (gondola?) to help with parking and getting people there.
