When the Rogers Place arena opened in downtown Edmonton in
September 2016, no amount of buzz could drown out the rumours of
manipulation, secret deals, and corporate greed undergirding the
project. Working with documentary evidence and original interviews,
the authors present an absorbing account of the machinations that
got the arena and the adjacent Ice District built, with a price tag
of more than $600 million. The arena deal, they argue, established
a costly public financing precedent that people across North
America should watch closely, as many cities consider building
sports facilities for professional teams or international
competitions. Their analysis brings clarity and nuance to a case
shrouded in secrecy and understood by few besides political and
business insiders. Power Play tells a dramatic story about clashing
priorities where sports, money, and municipal power meet.
