Lucky You
I figured that Red Deer's largest arena is the Enmax Centrium that the Rebel play out of. But I could be completely off base as I have unfortunately never been to Western Canada.
Your Are right, Red Deer Doesnt have any other rink near the size of the Centrium
is there anything that Red Deer is known for?
Not really, I think we are called "the city of volunteers" or something, but no real national recognition. Oh, one more, I think we have the most liquor outlets per capita in north america.
anything that you suggest tourists
have to see when they go to Red Deer?
Not Really.
is there a program that you can buy regularily on game days for the Rebel?
yes, Its called "Onside" and its available for $3 on every game day, and it includes an insert for game day information.
if possible, could you describe your arena for me? (for example if it has any nice features like a video scoreboard, cushioned seats, types of concessions, if its attached to anything, if it has luxury suites, or conference rooms, etc)
http://www.westerner.ab.ca/ Has all the information. Centrium is attached to the Parkland Pavilion which is used for trade shows, rodeo's and other events. No Video Scorebord, Row 1, and select seats in rows 7-13 have some padding, but nothing to get too excited about. The Ice Cream has been voted the best in the WHL more than once, and typical Burgers and fries Concessions. Also have western Pizza and Schnieders Hot dogs available at certain places in the building. Labatt Blue and Kokanee Gold are available every game. 8 Luxury Suites on the main concource and 12? sky boxes above the seating on the south side of the building.
I may have more questions to follow down the road. Thank you so much in advance. And good luck during your run to the playoffs. If my team doesn't make it out of the O, I'm sure I'll be cheering for the West.
No problem, Just post them here....Hope I helped!
Go Rebels Go!
