Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium sees ‘unparalled’ week of events
Commonwealth Stadium has been the epicenter of activity in Edmonton lately — from a historic visit from the Pope to Monster Jam and football games.“This is probably an unparalleled week at Commonwealth Stadium,” Jason Fesyk said, stadium major events supervisor for the City of Edmonton.In the span of a week the stadium hosted football, a Papal mass, then a monster truck show.
“We’ve had a lot of events that have come through Commonwealth Stadium, but none that have really backed up onto one another the way these have,” Fesyk explained.“The amount of time, effort and work that went into that was absolutely amazing.” It’s not an easy task setting up and tearing down several big events — quickly — and with a local labour crew of about 45 people who work alongside other teams in the process.
