Well after sleeping on it I'm feeling a little underwhelmed. The presentation itself feels a lot more like an early investors deck (which in a way it is) then a well conceived plan. It's quite short on details and has a 'smoke & mirrors' feel to it.

Like Ken King & Co just don't want to let the cat out of the bag yet, so they're intentionally withholding information.

Secondly the general location/set up of the site itself seem very geared to "get off the train, walk to the game, after the game climb on the train and GTFO", as it certainly doesn't appear that restaurants/bars are being given much thought. It doesn't look like they are positioning CalgaryNext as the type of place you go down to 2 hours before the game and have a beer/bite to eat, or a place to watch the big games if you can't get a ticket.

I guess I'd rather see something like Toronto or Winnipeg where the public can gather outside and enjoy the game day atmosphere... I'm assuming tail gate parties are not part of the plans at all.

Anyways, after years and years of "something's coming soon guys! It's gonna blow your mind!" I'm left a little disappointed. I was hoping for a more integrated project.
