Topic 2: Updated Edmonton Hockey news
The remainder of the 2019–2020 NHL season is getting underway with Edmonton being one of the 2 hub cities where games are going on. 12 teams from the Western Conference are being cloistered away in hotels in downtown Edmonton with secure, isolated routes guiding the players between their hotel rooms, social areas where the players can interact with each other, and Rogers Place. Originally, the Oilers Entertainment Group was planning on setting up a drive-in theater arrangement for fans to enjoy the games as close to the action as possible while staying socially distant. The drive-in area was to be combined with a pop-up Beer garden to quench fans thirst for beer as well as the Hockey we have all been missing over the past few months. After making the announcement, several local groups spoke out commenting that maintaining physical distance might be difficult when alcohol is thrown in the mix and celebrations are in full swing. The Oilers Entertainment Group is currently reconsidering the venue just outside of Rogers Place and brainstorming more ideas for fans to interact with the game we all love that would allow us all to stay safe while getting out of the house.
Topic 3: Edmonton Corn Maze
This season marks the 20th year for the Edmonton Corn Maze. Two single guys in their twenties who borrowed money from family members because the bank couldn’t be convinced; rented land, borrowed a tractor, planted a field of corn and hoped that people would come. Each new season we’ve embraced the challenge of trying new ideas and continuing to grow, change, and improve.
Wanted to acknowledge that this year will feel somewhat different. 2020 has changed a lot for a lot of people. It has been hard to navigate at times, and full of challenges. Due to COVID-19, we will be taking extra care to clean and sanitize frequently on the property. We will encourage physical distancing and provide a few larger spaces in the maze itself to pass along the paths more safely. We will limit the number of patrons on the maze property at a time and will do everything we can to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit. We have lots of room to spread out.
Though the correct pathways can be walked in under 30 minutes, most will require about one hour to travel through the maze of more than 5 km of twists and turns and 85 decision points.
Cost: General $13, Youth (aged 4-11) $10, Child (3 & under) free
