As someone else mentions it seems to be a place where you go straight to the game and then leave. Separating the stadium-fieldhouse from the arena could leave some space for bars and restaurants where fans can relax before and after the game.

Agreed. The Flames would argue that the building's themselves would contain those facilities but I have little faith we would get anything other than enlarged versions of what we have today. Garbage banquet food and a dozen different types of american adjunct lagers.
Now that I have had a chance to sleep on it...
Maybe it's just because there was pretty much zero information about the arena, I am most disappointed with the Stadium. Combining the stadium and field house is a interesting idea but what was shown suffers from being squeezed in-between bow trail for the sake of not having to deal with road infrastructure. Having an unbalanced seating bowl to accommodate shadowing bylaws for the river pathways. Convention centre feel inside to accommodate field house requirements. So many accommodations. We'll never see a translucent roof with an east-west oriented stadium.
I know that it's a vision but such a terrible render. This is what I would have assumed we'd have seen 2 years ago.
