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'm sorry, but this is possibly the worst idea I've ever heard. It would cost an exorbitant amount and guarantee that it would be crappy for a whole range of sports.
