This is where the Flames really screwed this up. In order to sell the public on the idea, you better give them a strong sense of what the facility will look like and offer. Just being vague and saying the images are "placeholders" was a huge mistake. No one would buy into anything without having a reasonably good idea on what the final product they are getting is. They failed to give the project a real identity by showing off something that will cause some "ooh's" and "aahs".
