I agree that the project is ambitious and transformative for Calgary but doesn't strike me as the truly top shelf project that its been characterized as. The 30K capacity for the football stadium is disappointing and seems like a compromise for the sake of the field house. If 28K is the average Stamps game attendance currently, wouldn't making the game day experience exponentially better, as King claims they are doing, mean that a lot more than 2 thousand additional people would show up at football games? Missed opportunity here if the stadium stays at 30K IMO.
