Why are we still arguing about the location.

Fire Park is not a bad location if you want to build a more traditional show up to the event then leave, vehicle orientated facility. But that's not what the Flames want, they want walk, train, come early, stay late, public use on dark nights.

Balzac is not 30 minutes from 16th and Stoney. (maybe 30 minutes from Chestemere). But like Fire Park that's not what the Flames want.

The Stampede doesn't not want to give up enough land to build a duel use building

So there are only 2 options. Just north of the old building in Vic Park, or West Village near the Sunalta train station. Of the 2 options it will be the West Village because the Sunalta train station is there and the Vic Park Station is only planned.
