One of those changes has affected parking rates on Rogers Place event nights. On nights when there are hockey games, concerts, or shows, EPark hours of operation are extended from 6 pm until 10 pm at a rate of $3.50 per hour, and the two-hour parking restriction has been increased to five hours. (The map pictured above shows the zone that is affected by this change.) The parkades in the area have also increased their rates on event nights, and this will affect anyone who is headed downtown, not just those that are attending an event at Rogers Place.

Oversized graphics on the exterior of the building tell the history of the organization, and displays feature an exact replica of the “Legends Wall” that’s displayed in Toronto, a locker room stall from the legacy team, and other Oilers paraphernalia.
