The suitability of the footprint is debateable. I don't think it's as small as where some other similar multi-sport complexes are.

Infrastructure for that area will be very costly, KK is being sneaky about this, after the arena's are open the true scope of traffic problems will be known and of course dealt with at a huge cost to taxpayers. and then there's the cleanup costs(who will pay for it?)
Not that you want it but I'll give you my opinion anyway
That area should be cleaned up and used similar to east village, with the way our road systems are in this city we need more places to live closer to the downtown core.
I would put this massive project up on the hill at firepark, 5 minutes from downtown, right off of deerfoot tr and already on the LRT line, this area(Barlow/Memorial could also be revitalized with hotels,bars, condo's etc.
Edit, the land is already owned by one of the flames owners.
