It's proposed by someone who has no projects anywhere right now. Total fantasy .

Yeah. I just checked the link as well. I'm a really open minded and artistic person, but Holy Domed Turd Fest Batman. Maybe they should start by updating most of Alberta Avenue (aka 118th).

And apparently it will cost the City of Edmonton nothing. Yeah, nothing but a loss of respect. :shakehead

Anyone know if there is any sort of individual seat view (even if it's just a simulated version) to check out views from seats? I have tickets for the Sens/Oilers game at the end of October. Think I'm in section 220 row 1.

That looks super tacky, but it's a casino, so it's expected.

As ridiculous as it sounds now, Baccarat was as good as casinos got in Edmonton when it opened. As was the original location for the Palace Casino in West Edmonton Mall.

When it opens I'll wander over and take a look. Tough to judge fairly when they are still in the midst of construction. But whoever said online judgments were ever related to fairness? :sarcasm:

But a skate blade has yet to touch the ice yet. Not one. And not one will take a stride on the new freeze until Thursday when the building is turned over to the team.

A special first skater and a group of first test skaters has been selected to perform the honour.

Any guesses? Mine is Gretzky.

Give it to McDavid, it's his rink

Sounds about right.

Besides, how many 'special events' is Gretz supposed to come back for. I could see considering offering him the honour if he lived in the area, but flying in just to be the among the special first skaters?

They made a point to show Gretzky and Mcdavid as the last to ever touch Rexall Ice, I'm sure Mcdavid will be the special skater and maybe some alum will be in the next group, this is the Oilers ...

Just a reminder to all those interested, tickets will be released tomorrow for the open house on September 10. A link to where to get them will be put up here in the morning.

Kevin Lowe wearing all 6 of his rings, followed closely by MacT and Katz

I laughed out loud in real life at the first part of that sentence :laugh::handclap::handclap:

They will probably reveal the Gretzky statue in the new location then him and McDavid go for a skate.
