Very thankful for some news on this. I wonder if they put enough qualifiers into the opening statement:
"proposal"
"potential"
"high level scope"
"not a formal launch"
Can't say I expected more but I thought KK specifically said they didn't want to roll anything out until it was ready and firm plans were in place. Whatever.
The very good news is that this gets the real discussion started. How much will it cost and what kind of deal are the owners looking for. I certainly hope he is ready to answer those questions on the 18th.
As an earlier poster mentioned, this is undoubtedly designed to start to put some pressure on elected officials by getting the public excited about a project. That approach makes me nervous but realistically, can't expect the Flames to want to finance the whole thing when that happens so rarely in other cities.
I really hope the Flames are able to handle this as gracefully as possible.
