Edmonton and Northlands asked Edmontonians what they wanted done with Rexall, this is what you decided on.

A few months a go Northlands and Edmonton asked what we would like to see done with Rexall Place, now that the new arena is up.

It’s been decided Edmonton isn’t big enough for 2 arena’s and this is what MAY happen.

Repurpose.

Rexall Place could be converted to 3 main things. Another place to hold conferences, trade shows, and business events. They are also tossing around the idea of turning Rexall into another recreation facility, or even a agriculture education centre. (To learn where your food comes from!)

If Northlands can’t find anyone to partner with Rexall and host trade shows, this idea will go straight out the window.

Demolition.

If no can be found to partner with Northlands and Rexall, the building will be torn down to the tune of $8.3 million.

 

Northlands says ideally they would like to have Rexall host the events and shows that Rogers Place will be too big to host.

 

Either way our new shiny arena is on the way, and Northlands will decide what is to be done with Rexall by the end of 2015.

LOOK AT IT! IT IS LITERALLY SHINY!
