I feel the Bow trail location would be a traffic disaster for 90% of people, and is not an improvement over the current situation, in terms of Night life or Transit. So I would be a little disappointed if that's the location.

I'm hoping for the South End of the East village, or the North End of Victoria Park. With a Train station incorporated into the build that could be the start of a S.E. line. That would have to be a joint effort between the city and the Flames, so it seems unlikely if they are planning on doing something before the election.

I think Fire park is the second best choice. I has to be one of the most accessible locations in the entire city by road. The transit situation would be the same as Bow Trail or the Saddledome. Its closer to the airport for out of town visitors, and I think any area the arena might go will need growth in terms of night life. But its not like Sunalta and the East Village are busting at the seams with sports bars and restaurants right now.
