I agree that I wasn't blown away from those renders but I'm also smart enough to reserve judgement for when I get to see the real designs they have settled on. The ones like you see right now in the Edmonton, Regina, and Quebec facilities and this project isn't close to being ready for that.

I think there was a kind of chain reaction of disappointment by fans caused by KK & CSE.
Firstly, it took for bloody ever to even announce that they would announce an arena. When did talks first start? 2006?
Then the announcement comes with many question marks about funding - understandable, but frustrating for folks who waited so long just to be told, wait some more until we figure this out. Why hasn't it been figured out already?!
The fans were promised to have their expectations blown away - but that's hardly the case. Many argue that the multi use stadium idea will not work out, and it's simply a compromise on all fronts.
After 7-8 years of waiting, there isn't even a decent rendering of one or two proposed arenas and stadiums?
It's been disappointment after disappointment for fans, leading the taxpayer to be pissy and underwhelmed, and most of CP too.
I think in a year or two we'll receive more concrete news, but it'll be news that people were expecting today.
