Disagree with what he said was going to happen.
No sports facilities have even been officially designed yet. They haven't even gone out to an RFP stage (which there will be, because if there's even an ounce of public money, it has to go this route).
There's no possible way that someone can say that the arena will look like a 'cowboy hat' considering a) there has been no design-build, design-build-finance-maintain or P3 procurement method established to pay for official design submissions at this stage yet, and b) no architect in their right mind is going to design something that looks like a cowboy hat, much less the Flames actually wanting something that looks like that.
As you say, when this is all said and done, it's going to be not just a world-class facility, but a world-class district at the end.
