Its not specifically about a hockey arena, football stadium or field house, its about the bigger picture of Calgary. You need ALL of these things. The 1% art thing is another example of this, so is the new public library, National music center, winsport, ect...
Imagine an in demand profession that has several equally attractive offers on the table to bring their talents to organizations in various "world class" cities (ie New York, Paris, London, ect..) If they havent heard of Calgary or what it offers they are most likely going to skip out on Calgary and go with one of the more established cities. This is about putting Calgary on the top of lists for people to come here.
