An open house for the new Rogers Place will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. that day, just before the building gets down to the business of hosting concerts and hockey games.

“So much effort has gone into making sure every detail gives people the best experience possible, and this is a great opportunity to get an up-close and personal look at our city’s new arena,” Rick Daviss, the city’s executive director of the downtown arena project, said Monday in a news release.

The city expects tens of thousands of people could respond to the invitation for an inside look at one of the most eagerly anticipated projects in Edmonton’s history.

Tickets are free and will be released to the public Aug. 29. More information will be made available that day on the web at Edmonton.ca/rogersplace, including links to get tickets.
