Have the lower bowl able to shift for baseball to bring AAA baseball back and soccer field if the Flames want to get into MLS. IMO this makes a lot of sense for the Flames ownership over just another arena. Calgary needs a retractable dome because our weather is too cold for spring/fall outdoor spectator sports.

I enjoyed the Heritage Classic as much as the next guy, but if I had to watch a flames game from that far away every time, there's no way I would go.
Not sure how you would be able to fix that problem without the place being one giant transformer.
