I hope they just build a new stadium in the Stampede area. Perfect place for it as there needs to be a tremendous amount of space for the actual stampede that lends itself to parking during the season.
Plus, I may be wrong but doesnt the Stampede get a break on all that land, already? may be helpful in terms of the city not having to offer similar breaks.
The Stampede area has also strongly committed to redeveloping the area surrounding, which again provides a mutual benefit to the city, the team, and the stampede.
I for one an always weary of building a "district" centered around a stadium. I mean, outside of maybe 100 days a year, who wants to hang around by an empty stadium..
