The "field house" won't even come close to the caliber of Saskatchewan's or Winnipeg's new stadiums. The reality is we will get new facilities that beat our old ones, but they will not be groundbreaking or worth a second thought. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to put Calgary back on the map in regards to sporting facilities. Calgary has to start thinking big again.
