Let's face it, it's Calgary identity whether Calgarians like it or not.
Vancouver is an artsy city. Toronto is a business city. Montreal is sort of an old world artsy city. Edmonton is... a toilet.
I get the problems with the Saddledome's roof, but it's just so distinctly Southern Alberta. As a person who has been to Calgary once in my life, I love it.

If this thread has shown me anything, it's that this particular roof shape isn't actually disctinclty Calgary at all. Apparently it's been used many times, and well before the Saddledome too. It's a cool building, but let's not get carried away with it being a defining or irreplaceable feature.
