This is why it would be wise for OEG to lower the prices for the maze, so regularly Edmontonians can take part with their team in some fashion of association. You all have expounded how exorbitantly the cost of games are, well, snow ice shouldn't be on the same salaries level as hockey players unless the snow/ice came directly from Juan Valdez...

On the other hand, they need some extra cash to be able to pay Bobby Burgers' wife to write the Joey Moss book. It's pricey bringing in an A-list author like that, and you can be sure that there were no Edmontonian authors qualified to write a children's book based on the life of an Edmonton icon.

What is sadder is that this is the doings of our civic leaders; we have had very incompetent leaders.

There is plenty of blame to go around. The successive conservative governments dotting on Calgary at our expense.
The notable exception is Stephen Mandel getting the arena deal done the airport closed allowing Ice District to become a reality. The CRL is also funding the new warehouse park without which Parks and The Shift would not happen. I hate to think what downtown would be like without Ice District.
 
Drove by and seemed pretty busy today! Probably 60-80 at least.

Here’s a pic I saw shared online.

Visited tonight. Decent amount of kids and families. Slides were fun and unique. Some of the extra elements were good. Craftsmanship of some of the ice and snow was awesome. Maze was very basic and too small.

Maze being small was a bit confusing too when all the branding was really around the maze, vs a “winter fun space” (which is really more what it was). Probably needs to be 3-4x the maze to have good traction next year I think. But overall a win for our DT I’d say.
