Hell, even talk about the Saddledome restoration when asked about a new arena if you have to. Just stop with the cryptic remarks.

It's annoying, sure.. but you gotta realize, he's probably being asked about it 99% of the time (rather than initiating the conversation), so he has to provide a remark to the media or to season ticket holders. Describing it as "ambitious" and other superlatives probably helps sell papers and seats.
Let's also not forget, that a HUGE swath of funding for this is probably going to be driven by PSL's and private box sales. Hyping this building and playing to the ego's of Calgary's corporate elite won't hurt!
