Getting to Rogers Place 101

Some highlights from the FAQ:

How much parking is available near Rogers Place?

There are 18,000 off-street parking stalls within a 15 minute walk from Rogers Place. A major event at Rogers Place is expected to use 6,000 stalls.

The Oilers Entertainment Group is developing an app through Parking Panda that will let you pre-purchase your event parking. Details on the app will be released later this summer.

Is there a pedestrian corridor to the LRT station? Where are the exit points?

The LRT station can be accessed from the area of the arena called the “LRT Link”. The LRT link does not physically connect to MacEwan Station; however, the LRT station entrance is located immediately across the sidewalk from the arena exit.

Is there any transit parking available for the arena?

There is free parking at four LRT stations: Clareview, Stadium, Belvedere and Century Park, as well as free parking at Davis and Eaux Claires Park & Ride lots. Century Park reserved stalls will also open and be available after 5 p.m.

How will the cost of parking determined?

The vast majority of parking in Downtown Edmonton is managed by private companies, who have not shared their rates. We expect a range of rates depending on how close parking is to Rogers Place, and rates may change. Once the prices have been determined by the market, the City will follow suit.

Are there disabled parking and drop-off zones available?

There is a priority disabled drop-off zone located at the southeast entrance to Rogers Place. This zone is reserved strictly for disabled patrons, whether arriving by private vehicle or a DATS bus.

Where can I go to get a Taxi?

There will be a taxi stand set up for major events near Rogers Place on the south side of 104 Avenue, near 104 Street. This will likely turn into a learned behaviour for smaller events as well.

Are there public washrooms available?

Yes there are public washrooms in the pedestrian corridor between the MacEwan LRT Station and Ford Hall (the Winter Garden). They are open during LRT operating hours.

What kind of police presence will there be in the area?

Edmonton Police Service recently added 28 new beat constables, four sergeants and one staff sergeant to the downtown core, as well as seven police to the city’s Hospitality Policing Unit. The beat police will patrol the same areas each shift, and are an excellent point of contact for residents who live in the area. Extra duty police will also be deployed on event nights to help with directing traffic, pedestrian flow and event security in and around Rogers Place.

OEG ANNOUNCES PBR PARTNERSHIP

August 3, 2016
PBR TO ANCHOR 10-DAY WESTERN LIFESTYLE FESTIVAL IN EDMONTON WITH CANADIAN FINALS AND GLOBAL INVITATIONAL EVENT

Oilers Entertainment Group and PBR Join Forces to Create Western Lifestyle Destination Event

EDMONTON, AB — All roads lead to Edmonton as Professional Bull Riders (PBR) and Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) have announced a partnership bringing the PBR Monster Energy Canada Tour Finals and a special global invitational PBR event to Rogers Place as the centerpiece of a new festival to coincide with Edmonton’s annual Farm Fair exhibition.

The three-day global professional bull riding showcase, which will be broadcast on TSN, is scheduled for November 10-12, 2017 with a $1 million (CAD) purse up for grabs. It will cap an exciting 10-day festival that will include NHL hockey, live entertainment and community events and activities celebrating western lifestyle.

The bull riding will begin with the PBR Canada Monster Energy Finals, crowning a champion among the country’s Top 40 riders in the PBR Monster Energy Canada Series – a new 16-city tour visiting five Canadian provinces starting August 20, 2016 in Ottawa and ending in October 2017. Following the Canadian Finals, a two-day PBR Edmonton Open Invitational will feature the world’s Top 40 bull riders: the Top 20 riders in the Canadian standings along with the Top 20 from the PBR World Standings.

Highlights of the festival event schedule, which is still being developed, include:

November 3-12, 2017 – Western lifestyle festival events and activations
Friday, November 10, 2017 – PBR Canada Monster Energy Finals
Saturday, November 11, 2017 – PBR Edmonton Invitational – Top 20 Canadian riders compete with the world’s best
Sunday, November 12, 2017 – PBR Edmonton Invitational Finals

“PBR is very excited to partner with Oilers Entertainment Group to develop this marquee sporting event anchoring a western lifestyle festival in the great city of Edmonton,” said Sean Gleason, CEO of PBR. “Beautiful, new Rogers Place is the ideal venue to crown a champion for our new PBR Monster Energy Canada Tour and host the world’s best riders at a global invitational. This three-day Canadian showcase will award the biggest purse outside of our World Finals in Las Vegas and is an important component to PBR’s commitment to Canadian fans as well as our global growth.”

“We are excited to build on Edmonton’s proud western heritage through this new event,” said Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson. “This exciting festival concept will help build on the success of Farm Fair and will be a great draw not only for Edmontonians, but Northern Alberta as well.”
