The new urban sporting territory in Edmonton’s city center was constructed within the framework of continued settler colonialism. The main catalyst for this development was sport-related gentrification: a new, publicly financed ice hockey arena for the National Hockey League’s Edmonton Oilers, and a surrounding sport and entertainment district. This two-year ethnography explores this territory, in particular the changing interactions between preexisting, less affluent city-center residents and police, private security, crisis workers, and hockey fans. It reveals how residents navigate the physical and spatial changes to a downtown that are not only structured by revanchism, but by what Rai Reece calls “carceral redlining,” or the continuation of White supremacy through regulation, surveillance, displacement, and dispossession.

埃德蒙顿市中心的新城市体育领地是在持续定居者殖民主义的框架下建造的。这一发展的主要催化剂是与体育有关的高档化：为国家曲棍球联盟的埃德蒙顿油人队提供的，由公共资助的新冰球竞技场，以及周围的运动和娱乐区。这项为期两年的人种志研究了这一领域，尤其是原有的，较不富裕的城市中心居民与警察，私人安全，危机工作者和曲棍球迷之间不断变化的相互作用。它揭示了居民如何驾驭物理和空间变化到市中心，这不仅是由革命造成的，而且是赖·里斯所谓的“ car职”，或者是白人通过统治，监视，流离失所和剥夺而继续存在的霸权。
