In a way I get where the Calgary Police are coming from, that they can't just allow a free for all of open drinking and partying in the streets every 2-3 days for the next 2 months.
But unless there's an alternate official venue (viewing screens on the stampede grounds perhaps?) fans are still going to congregate in large numbers if the Flames make it past the 1st round.
They'd be much better off saying "public drinking will not be tolerated. We will be keeping the peace." instead of this hardline "stay away from 17th you guys!"
