Rogers Place

Rogers Place in downtown Edmonton is the home of the Oilers, the centerpiece of the Ice District development that transformed the city's downtown core. Its sleek, angular design and massive digital marquee mark a deliberate break from the aging arena it replaced. Edmonton's hockey fandom is intense and knowledgeable, and Rogers Place regularly ranks among the NHL's loudest buildings during playoff runs. The surrounding Ice District adds restaurants, hotels, and public plazas that keep the area lively well beyond game nights.

The arena opened in September 2016, replacing Northlands Coliseum, the longtime home of the Oilers' 1980s dynasty led by Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier that won five Stanley Cups. Rogers Place has hosted the modern Oilers' deep playoff runs behind Connor McDavid, including back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances in 2024 and 2025. As the anchor of the Ice District, it symbolizes Edmonton's downtown revitalization alongside its role as one of hockey's premier modern venues.
