They are right now building a giant "Agriculture Center" or something like that on the Stampede Grounds. It's just northwest of the Grandstand. In the parking lot.
There isn't going to be room for a hockey rink and a football stadium in there, unless they tear everything else down and can somehow manage to hold the Stampede in July, and Flames games all winter, while they build a football stadium and a hockey rink on the current Stampede Grounds.
TIN FOIL HAT TIME:
For a few weeks now, Cirque De Soleil has set up all their nifty tents in the parking lot too.
If (and this is where the conspiracy comes in) the Flames had actually made the playoffs, where did they expect everyone to park? Did they know something we didn't? Did they know the Flames weren't going to make the playoffs?
I guess it's not really a conspiracy, since we were pretty sure they weren't going to make the playoffs anyway, but weirder things have happened. And then there would be nowhere to park.
