CalgaryNEXT Announcement. New arena details emerge.
Just got this email from the Flames:
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.
Please confirm your attendance and since space is limited, please RSVP by 12 noon on Friday, August 14. We hope you can join us.
Best regards,
Ken King
President & CEO
Calgary Sports & Entertainment Corporation

I think we've mostly figured out what this project is going to be. The big part of this now is when it's being built and how it's being financed. So hopefully we get some info there.
