For reference, I believe it will be similar to what is being built in Moscow:

A project like this will really reinforce the comments Ken King made about it being 'something we've never seen before'
According to the wiki page, that thing costs $1.5B, and the seating capacity for the rink is only 12,000 (expandable to 15,000). The football stadium is 33,000 (expandable to 45,000). Seems too small for hockey, and a waste of money for the CFL. It doesn't seem at all feasable for Calgary IMO.
