10 reasons not to miss September 10

1: Ford Hall

Interior - Ford Hall looking south


Ford Hall is one of the most unique spaces inside Rogers Place. Stretching overtop 104 Ave, Ford Hall provides both functionality and elegance in the design of the Rogers Place. Intended to ease pedestrian traffic, this space also welcomes guests— ticket holders and non ticket holders alike — to meet up and celebrate their favourite team or artist together. This open space also features a large LED board, complimenting the energy and excitement of the community that will soon fill this area.

 

2: Janvier’s artwork

Did we mention it’s free? Thanks to Rogers Place staff and the City of Edmonton, this event is free to the public — because, who doesn’t love free stuff?

In order to ensure we can get as many people through the building as possible, we ask that you only take as many tickets as you plan to use (limit of 4 per email address) and show up no more than 30 minutes in advance to your selected time slot.
