Of course the argument can be made that the downtown core of Calgary and immediate areas are not in need of rejuvenation like the area the Oilers are putting their arena in.
East Village is underway, West Village would be next, Beltline is booming, Sunalta has stuff in motion due to the LRT. Inglewood and Ramsay are evolving nicely.
So the "arena to revitalize" a downtrodden area of downtown is a harder sell here too.
