Part of the appeal of BC Place is its huge capacity for housing concerts and a European size soccer crowd. We won't have that with the new CFL stadium the Flames are proposing.
Lets focus on a world class entertainment and hockey facility. I don't see the point of wasting millions of dollars and this being the huge gap for breaking ground on a new stadium.
