And this building in particular is what bugs me because Edmonton is full of old brick buildings and finally downtown gets a shot at a whole new section of flash and wow that has never existed and i feel like that building sort of takes away from it. Now yes youre right this place will be hopping on game days and will serve the downtown great for that reason.
I appoligize for not sharing in your veiw. I don't enjoy the ghost signage at all it reminds me of china town. Maybe its because I'm a little younger? I don't know but i do love old buildings...just not the location of this one

So you have a lot of authentic warehouses. Flaunt them. They will impress more than some anonymous "Ice District".
I'll say it. The arena just looks awful; a cheap knockoff of some stararchitect's vision. It certainly won't age gracefully.
