The year is 2035 (no really, check the index). The city of Winnipeg has committed to eliminating light pollution to allow for better viewing of the aurora (the one in the sky, not the hockey team). The area around the arena specifically has been altered with light-absorbing cover for all of the main streets and thoroughfares. Down on the ground, the streets are well lit and you can safely walk around without worrying about walking into a car or getting mugged in the night. But up above all of the streetlights is a series of walkways you can go up on, where almost none of the light from the street or any of the buildings can be seen, so you can look up at the night sky and see the beautiful northern lights the hockey team is named after. The walkways are heated so it's not even horribly cold, you can just go up there for hours and look at the aurora. Also, we have a lot of good restaurants and cocktail bars with aurora-themed menu items, all in convenient walking distance from the arena.
