I don't think it is fair to lump the entire $5B cost into the analysis, but even still, I would suggest it would be much easier from a transportation and infrastructure perspective to keep it in the vicinity of Stampede Park. The plan on the Bow/Crowchild redo would involve several bridges, off-ramps and NIMBY issues, so it will be next to impossible, even before adding an arena (and football stadium, if that is part of the plan).
