To me it seems, reading the herald article, the CFLP approached the City and had this idea where the city was going to bend to their requests. The city held firm and asked for studies showing the need for a new arena and KK sounds like he took his ball and went home.
I don't think the city is being unreasonable in asking for more studies and what not before allocating resources.
The big difference here is "revitalization" is a much tougher sell here in Calgary as we already have a great downtown. It was much easier to sell it in Edmonton where their downtown couldn't hold our jockstrap.
