About 5400 m3 of dirt a day.

I heard in an interview on the radio that the schedule was actually 7AM-5PM.

Which makes it a round 6000 m3 a day.

"Parking impacts the majority of the discussion, mostly to the north but we also brought up whether 6pm free will continue... Tbd. Event parking tbd. More to come."

The communities of Boyle Street and Central McDougall need to get ahead of this, and get their major event parking restrictions in place before the facility opens. If they don't, they'll find themselves in a very unpleasant situation as hoards of event goers jockey for free parking

They are 2 of the stakeholders and were present last night.

Gretzky is in town. Maybe for groundbreaking ceremony?

That was my guess, but seeing as the 'sod turning' (gravel turning) is Monday, I doubt he will stick around until then. Especially, as he mentioned last night, as he is a fan of Rexall.

Apparently Gretz was in town for personal business. Yeah I was speculating that he was either here for sod-turning or was becoming another consultant for the team.

What are the chances that his personal business could be another location for his restaurant/sports bar in the arena district?
