I wonder if councillors would know the TV audiences for Oilers games, or how many come down to visit the Ice District (I’m guessing close too 30,000). I think they should be more concerned about that rather than worry about kicking out drug users.

I say this every single year, but can someone please explain to me why we do not do a major cleaning, power washing, bannering and overall tidy PRIOR to national and international media arriving for the Stanley Cup playoffs?

A few sweepers have been out, but generally the Downtown looks pretty bad still.

Do we simply not care? Is there no one leading this and ensuring that PRE-major events that this happens?

It's so disheartening.

There's also this, if anyone cares.

A crew is out on 103st south of ICE as we speak with folks coming to park pre-game and going to and from restaurants.

Odd timing of this, but beggars cant be choosers I guess. Mind you, a block south tells another story.

I guess we are not "authentic enough" for the UCP, or its enablers and supporters.

I want to know who is in charge of scheduling for spring sweeping in Edmonton.

The "fiscally responsible" UCP must see way better ROI in Barrhead and Trochu obviously

This is better than I expected for a friendly. If the weather is good, I bet they’ll get close to 50,000.

Agreed. Really good outcome.
We'll likely have a bigger crowd for this friendly than what Toronto can accommodate for our World Cup matches.

 

[SMayo]

I'm actually very surprised at those numbers given the ticket prices.
