K serious question here:
Fieldhouse Standalone Square Feet = 595,000
Fieldhouse Integrated Square Feet = 150,000
What? That's not parking that makes up that difference, that's already accounted for. So why the 400,000 square foot difference?????? Is this supposed to be 'surrounding grounds and roads'? or what?
Stadium Standalone Square Feet = 520,000
Stadium Integrated Square Feet = 250,000
Again why is the Stadium so much smaller? And shouldn't this number be 0? As in 'already inside the fieldhouse'
Event Center Standalone SF = 820,000
Event Center 'Shared' (even though it's stand alone next to the fieldhouse) = 475,000
Makes 0 sense again.
Like wtf.
To me it should read
Standalone
2500 SF - parking
595,000 SF - Fieldhouse
520,000 SF - Stadium
820,000 SF - Event Centre
CalgaryNext
1500 SF - parking
595,000 SF - Fieldhouse
0 SF - Stadium
820,000 SF - Event Centre
All you save on is parking and by having the fieldhouse and stadium combined. So you save 520,000 SF.
Also, if you look at the totals....CalgaryNext goes from "Shared = 500,000 SF" to "Total Building Area: 1,375,000 SF" So is that fail math on the graphic up top? Or does the total build area total at the bottom include the 'development' in the area?
Someone fill me in, 'cause I don't get their math...
