I have no reason to doubt this claim but where was this pointed out? I had a quick scan of the Globe pieces and I never saw that.
It's my understanding from the preliminary reports presented to council that the main hockey venue would be the "proposed yet to be built new arena" followed by the Stampede Corral with a muli-million dollar renovation. The Saddledome would be used for figure skating and other skating style events.
Open and closing ceremonies would be done at Stampede Grandstand venue.
Personally all of this seems lunacy to me regardless.
