[edit] Concerts

I seem to recall Michael W. Smith filming his live concert dvd at one of the YC things. Maybe someone cn confirm this and psot?

That is a very poor picture in the article. The lighting is terrible. Someone get a good one! --Insomniak 15:01, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Only one I have. Feel free to go and take another. Glenlarson 23:46, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Try brightening it.

[edit] Trivia section

Just so everyone is clear on it, the plural form is OCTOPUSES, not OCTOPI. So there... JesperLærke 13:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ice quality

"The ice at Rexall Place is often regarded as the best in the National Hockey League, next to Montreal's Bell Centre and St Louis's Scottrade Center."

The part about Montreal's Bell Centre and St. Louis' Scottrade Center is unsubstatiated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.226.80.54 (talk • contribs) 2006-11-08T19:40:24

This part should probably read "one of the best", as there are other buildings with highly regarded ice. Saying that Rexall is often regarded as the best is a little unsubstantiated.--24.66.200.193 09:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hockey/Sports focus

Can we also get this article away from an almost pure sports focus. It's used for a lot more than just hockey and lacrosse games. For example, rock concerts. Last year I went to see Cirque du Soliel there. A live Dora the Explorer production was originally scheduled for Rexall in 2006 until the Oilers went to the Stanley Cup.

I'm not quite sure how you would do that. Rexall Place, like most arenas, was built specifically for sports. The arena's history will be inexplicably tied to the Oilers, and the other sporting teams that play there. A list of one-off events would make for a ridiculously long list.
