It is home to the Edmonton Oilers.
Edmonton's downtown hockey arena
Rogers Place is the arena at the heart of Edmonton's ICE District, on the block between 102 and 104 Streets and 104 and 105 Avenues downtown. It is home to the Edmonton Oilers (NHL) and the Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL), and it is the city's main stop for arena concerts. It seats 18,347 for hockey and up to 20,734 for concerts. The best hockey seats are at center ice, sections 102–103 and 119–120, where the 100-level club seats sit.
The arena opened on September 8, 2016, replacing Northlands Coliseum, which had opened in 1974, as the Oilers' home. It has carried the Rogers Place name since Rogers Communications announced a naming deal on December 3, 2013, before construction began. In September 2026, Rogers and the Oilers' parent company, OEG Sports and Entertainment, extended their partnership for 10 more years, keeping Rogers Place as the Oilers' home through 2036.
How Rogers Place seating is laid out
Section numbers below come from the RateYourSeats section directory and the TickPick Oilers seating guide.
100 level
The lower bowl mixes standard sections and club sections. The center-ice sideline sections, 101–104 on one side and 118–121 on the other, are sold as club seats; TickPick notes that seats in their first 25 rows include access to private club lounges. The Oilers bench is in front of section 102 and the visitors' bench in front of 103. Standard 100-level sections wrap the corners and ends, running from 105 to 117 on one half of the building and from 122 to 134 on the other, with some numbers skipped.
Loge level
Above the lower bowl, a ring of loge boxes (Loge 1–31) holds table seating in rows 2 and 3 with access to a full-service bar. The Sportsnet Club sits on the east side above the lower level and one net, and the Sky Lounge mixes premium seats with a lounge.
200 level
The upper bowl runs from 201 to 226 and from 230 to 234. It is the arena's most affordable tier.
Seat numbers
At Rogers Place, seat 1 is on the right side of every section as you face the ice, a useful detail when you want the aisle on a specific side. Accessible rows sit at the top of most sections.
Best seats for Oilers hockey
Center ice
Sections 102–103 and 119–120 are the premium choice, with 119–120 looking across at both benches. In the club sections, middle rows clear the glass and the bench area while staying close; the lowest rows are about proximity more than a full view of the rink.
The shoot-twice end
According to TickPick, the Oilers shoot twice at the net in front of sections 110 and 112. The elevated corner rows of 107, 109, 113 and 115, rows 23 to 25, are sold as O-Zone seats on that side. If you want to see the Oilers attack in the first and third periods, choose the 110–112 end. Teams can switch ends, so confirm on game night.
Value
The upper bowl near center ice is the budget choice for reading the whole rink. The lower-bowl corners give a closer, angled view at a lower cost than the club sections, which suits fans who care more about atmosphere than perfect symmetry.
Oil Kings and other hockey
The building also hosted the first PWHL game in Edmonton, on February 16, 2025, before 17,518 fans.
Concert seating and seats to avoid
Concert capacity reaches 20,734 with floor seating. For end-stage shows, the floor center and the lower sideline sections closest to the stage give the best close views, and the lower end sections opposite the stage give the clearest look at the full production. The arena has proven its concert pull: Garth Brooks played nine sold-out shows over six days in 2017, selling more than 143,000 tickets.
Seats to avoid
- Hockey, the first rows behind the benches: players and staff standing at the boards block part of the ice.
- Top rows of the 200-level corners: the longest distance to the ice and the stage.
- Concert sections beside or behind the stage: angled or blocked views of the production and screens.
Parking and the LRT for Rogers Place
Parking
The ICE District Central Parkade, on the north side of 103 Avenue just west of 103 Street, connects to the arena indoors through the Stantec Tower pedway and the P1 elevator, which matters in an Edmonton winter. Event-night parking can be booked in advance through ParkWhiz, and reserved spaces are held on event days. Clearance is 6 feet 10 inches. Rates change by event; check the arena's parking page before you go.
LRT and transit
Edmonton's LRT serves the arena at MacEwan station on the Metro Line, and Edmonton Transit Service buses run downtown. On a playoff night, transit avoids the downtown traffic that builds around the ICE District.
Bag policy and entry rules
As of the 2025–26 season, Rogers Place allows only bags and purses smaller than 12 x 12 x 6 inches, after physical inspection. Backpacks are not permitted, and the arena does not offer bag storage, so anything prohibited has to go back to your car or hotel. Medically necessary bags can be arranged in advance with the arena's service team.
- Re-entry: not allowed.
- Prohibited items: hard-sided reusable bottles, outside food and drink, laptops and tablets, selfie sticks, recording devices and cameras with lenses longer than 3 inches, among others.
- Tickets: keep your mobile ticket available, since staff can ask to see it inside.
Check the arena's safety and security page before you go.
Ten years of Rogers Place
Construction started in March 2014 after years of debate over financing, and the project, including the arena and surrounding district, was estimated at about 613.7 million dollars. The ICE District name for the surrounding blocks was announced in July 2015. Keith Urban played the first event on September 16, 2016, and the Oilers opened with a 7–4 win over the Calgary Flames on October 12, 2016, after a ceremony that unveiled a Wayne Gretzky statue outside.
The arena served as a hub for the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs, including the Final, and hosted Oilers home games in the 2024 and 2025 Stanley Cup Finals. More history is on the Wikipedia entry.
