The remains of Northland's Coliseum which was closed in 2017 is viewed in a number of different ways. The Edmonton Coliseum serves to remind hockey fans of the Oilers teams that won five Stanley Cups. Neighbouring residents and others consider the Coliseum as an eyesore and local politicians consider it as an albatross that is a liability represents a tax liability and barrier to redeveloping the 200 acres of land into a neighbourhood with residential, commercial and retail spaces.

Work is underway to determine what is needed to demolish the 50-year-old building, and it’s expected to take at least another two years before the building is demolished.
