Just an honest question, but why would a Flames/Stampede partnership be so unattainable/out of the question? It would seem to benefit both parties in my opinion. Is sharing revenue the worst thing if it keeps the arena downtown and benefits both parties? More Stampede headline concerts, same accessible location to watch the Flames, on a currently existing LRT line, and the inevitability of imploding the Dome and rebuilding infrastructure in it's spot?
