About Stadium

A multi-purpose sports and entertainment arena located in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada that primarily serves as home to the National Hockey League’s Edmonton Oilers.

The arena was built in 2014 with the intent of replacing the Oilers old and aging home-arena, Rexall Place which opened in 1974.

The cost of the arena was originally estimated at $450 million, with the city of Edmonton paying $125 million of that cost. The actual price of the stadium was much higher after completion with the price of $604.5 million.

The stadium is located right in the middle of the public transit system, the Edmonton Light Rail Transit, which is a great way for fans to travels to and from the games.
