Sounds like a concept introduction to the public, but nothing set in stone. Perhaps looking for public approval to help sway government and other business leaders?

Maybe this arena has been under construction this whole time in secret and on Tuesday it will rise from under the bow river in epic fashion.

I think this isn't official because it is primary going to be STH to give them some crumbs before the big unveiling. Kind of like a dry run.

Sounds like the 'project name' and not the name of the actual district or building.

Haha. I stand by what I said. Make sense that it was someone else who actually broke something meaningful 
Looking forward to hearing more about this project.
Last I have to say about that little exchange though, we should all just be excited for this big announcement! Will be huge for the city and for fans of hockey here.

Hah! More like the Flames will allow a reconfiguration of Bow Trail onto Crowchild using arena property, allow for an express toll road to bypass normal traffic, and make bucks off of rich people with nice cars wanting to get home faster to meet their golf times.

They specifically mention that they will not mention anything specific during this announcement.
Great work, Ken.

High level scope of the project and the vision is all anyone wants. I think there will be enough shared on Tuesday.

We are just waiting for the convoy to arrive. It'll be the first portable NHL arena!

Yeah, there's a whole lot of wording in that e-mail that seems to be saying "don't get too excited yet":
Quote:
It is a great time to be a sports fan and live in this wonderful and vibrant city of Calgary. We would like to share a proposal for a project that will make all Calgarians and Albertans proud.
This has the potential to be one of Calgary's most transformative projects at a vital time in our city's history.
This will be our first public discussion on this project and it is important that you be among the first to know.
On August 18, we will be hosting an information session to present the high level scope of the project including a preview of CalgaryNEXT.
This is not a formal launch of the project, but it is an opportunity for us to share what has been done to date and introduce our vision for the future.
|
Really hoping there is some substantial info though!
