A state-of-the-art sports and entertainment complex

Seating capacity and history

Rogers Place is a world-class sports and entertainment complex located in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. It is the home of the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League (WHL). The arena has a seating capacity of 18,347 as a hockey venue and 20,734 as a concert venue. It replaced Northlands Coliseum, which opened in 1974.

The Oilers' former primary logo was used in some capacity from 1996 to 2012. The team's current logo was unveiled in 2012.

Rogers Place is one of the most technologically advanced arenas in the NHL. It features a state-of-the-art scoreboard, a 360-degree video screen, and a retractable roof. The arena also has a variety of premium seating options, including suites, club seats, and loge boxes.

Upcoming events

The Edmonton Oilers are one step closer to having a max capacity crowd at Rogers Place. On Tuesday, Premier Jason Kenney announced that capacity limits will be lifted in Alberta on February 28th. This means that the Oilers will be able to welcome a full house when they play host to the Minnesota Wild on March 2nd.

Fans will return to Rogers Place Saturday as the Edmonton Oilers play at home for the first time in 2022. It's also the first time fans will be in attendance since the Oilers were eliminated from the playoffs in May.

At that time, Daryl stated a desire to not only find the Oilers a new home in downtown Edmonton but to transform the city he grew up in.

Conclusion

Rogers Place is a world-class sports and entertainment complex that is a major economic driver for the city of Edmonton. It is a popular destination for fans of hockey and music, and it has hosted a variety of major events, including the NHL playoffs and the Juno Awards.
