What I was reading is that a field house was identified as a important need for Calgary and was proposed for foothills a couple years ago, somehow the cost for that ballooned to 200 million dollars for a mixed use field house. If I am reading right, the Flames/Stamps proposal is to take that 200 million targeted towards the proposed field house, and instead call the Stamps stadium a Fieldhouse/stadium and pretend they are delivering 200 million worth of value for a field house to the public. When in actuality, you can get a very nice, functional field house for a tiny fraction of 200 million that wouldn't have to be shared with the Stamps, Concerts, etc.
