I am proposing that if there was to be a new stadium it would need to be more than than simple a football stadium. There exists some synergy in what is required in the city and what a new large stadium could provide if it was part of a major development.
Some of the problems can be solved by renovations and they are planning on doing that if they can get the UofC and the McMahon family to agree to sell the naming rights. It's obvious that the Flames don't want to invest a bunch of money in a facility owned by the UofC but they do want to maximize revenue by improving concession and adding box/luxury suites. They just need to find someone to pay for it.
