Taking Shape

So here is a shot of the new hockey arena being built downtown.
It is really taking shape. It is supposed to ready for the fall of 2016.
The Edmonton Oilers have not made the playoffs in nine years. Today they won the draft lottery so once again they will have the first overall pick later this summer at the NHL draft. Maybe that will help

Cool shot of the new building! Is it far from Rexall where they play now? I was there a few years ago and it was TIGHT in the walkways! I hope they can finally convert a #1 pick into something meaningful this time!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks like it will be an impressive arena when it's finished. Good shot!

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Milanie]

Neat colors against that blue sky. Let's hope new home brings new luck.

[Danette Thompson]

Very cool. My son lives across the water from where the Tampa Bay Lightning play. He was there today for a playoff game.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Babs]

Interesting shot, you will have to go back when it is finished and show a before and after shot.

[Gena Pegg]

Great shot!! Cool lines and colors. Should be beautiful ... still looks like a lot of work ahead.

[Anita Campbell]

It's definitely looking like an arena now. I'd say "Go Oilers" but my Flames enthusiast relatives might object. Ha ha!

[Tony]

Great to see the bones of the building before the skin goes on.

[Christine Webb]

Good shot a lot of work still ahead of them

[Delia]

I like the curved lines here

[Nicole]

a very nice capture of the building!

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks like work is quite advanced. Lovely shot.

[Lynne Hart]

Super shot, looks a very impressive structure.

[Susan]

My poor boys (now in their 30's) have faithfully followed the Leafs their whole life! But with that said, hoping your Edmonton Oilers do well in the playoffs! Lovely capture of their new home!

[Leana Niemand]

Is this icy hockey? It looks like a very large arena.

[Jule ♥]

Looks cool!

[Michael Smith]

The arena is coming along nicely--super photo!

[Kathie]

The house McDavid built.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great shot. I bet it will look wonderful when it is finished.

[Anne ❀]

nice to see the progress!

[Linda]

Nice shot with lots of color and texture. Looking good.

[Ivan]

Great arena, hope they do well!

[Carole Imes]

Interest shot of the progress.

[Pyrrhula]

Great view on and capture off the builds of this nice arena.

[Stephanie Swift]

The colours here look great with the blue sky.

[Shirley Banford]

Nicely done.

[Colleen Culhane]

I agree with everyone, the colors are great, and the curved lines of the structure are interesting.

[Rachel]

Lovely colourful capture with lots going on!

@slang Well Sean we are hoping for that as well. Yes this is quite a ways from Rexall Place as this is right downtown but with the LRT expansion there will be easy access to it

@susanalena Sorry I guess I did not make my self clear as we were the other Canadian team that missed the playoffs as well

[bkb in the city]

[Paula McLaughlin]

It's always interesting to see this arenas in progress. Wonderful photo.

[Allison Williams]

I used to love watching my college team play, but have drifted away fom most team sports. It is fun to root for your home team, especially if they can put together a winning season.
