What bungled CalgaryNEXT was buying the Stampeders. Instead of asking for a new arena the minute after Edmonton got theirs, they went for a two for the price of none special. They are victims of their own greed.
If they had originally asked for a hockey arena only there would likely be shovels in the ground right now.
The Alberta economy cratering at the time it did didn't help either.
Ken King has done a lot of great things for the Flames. Unfortunately, most of them happened years ago.
