for me the perfect place for a new arena would be just north of McMahon Stadium between McMahon and Father David Bauer Arena there are many reasons why this place would be perfect:
1) You have access to two major roadways the Trans Canada Highway and Crowchild Trail

It is located along probably the worst stretch of Crowchild on the north side of the city. 16th by Motel Village to Foothills barely functions.

There is? That's why people walk from all over the NW streets they've parked on to get to Stamps games?

The Banff Trail station is inconvenient for McMahon as it is, never mind the north side of McMahon. Too many idiots at Stamps games already ignore the pedestrian overpass for accessing the station. Stamps games are total #### shows for Crowchild and 24th already, and they're only 8-10 times a year. Let's add another 40+ instances of this??

I can't keep a straight face for the time it takes me to read that sentence.
