Disappointed with the location, UNLESS it means a stadium capable of hosting soccer/concerts because of the extra space.
The whole Stampede Trail development/Stampede grounds start to look like they face a grim future if the Flames move out of the area. I would have loved a building North of the current dome, with an integrated underground SE LRT station. That could have turned into a great entertainment district, and would have the East village on it's doorstep and 17th ave as well.
The Stampede grounds and East Vic park will feel like a desolate wasteland with no arena in the neighborhood (assuming the dome gets levelled).
