I don't get why they didn't build a 10,000 seater up there to start with. They have a ton of land to use and it's just sat there since the '88 Olympic planning. There is a huge chunk of land they want to turn into shopping but the City has been stalling that. They could easily turn that into an arena.

They want to be a world class Olympic training facility so I think putting in a rink that has some proper seating would make sense. I mean jeez, the chaos of getting into there for the Development Camp practices or the Flames ones after the lockout should make it obvious people would go.
