Looks like the next two weeks are "cleanup" weeks where Rogers Place is concerned.

Please note how much light is recast at street level from reflections off of Rogers Place facades.

If you hadn't guessed, I love the light play on this buildings forms.

Glad we didn't end up with any of the above-ground parking options. In some ways I like the 104 Ave. plaza entry in Option C over the winter garden, though. I was honestly never that big a fan of it, though admittedly it looks really cool, and I'm happy for the Janvier piece going in it.

I'm reasonably sure that thing is bigger than my house.
Edit: I just checked. It is.
Scoreboard: 46.5' wide
My house: 42.5' wide
Don't even need to compare the height, mine's a bungalow.

At least there won't be a big Ted Rogers statue outside of it like the Rogers Centre. Or will there be?
@Marcanadian lol, not that I know of, but then the man has basically no connection to Edmonton, unlike Toronto.
The Gretzky statue is being moved from Rexall to Rogers Place, though.

Yeah, he's getting polished too. I wonder if Gretzky will be on hand for the opening.
