Definitely a salesmanship fail. Everyone knows that when you have little substance, you try to mask it with sizzle. Instead, King gave us a barely thought out concept AND amateurish renderings and presentation. He could have had Calgarians excited about a grand vision....instead there was nothing much to look at, so people honed in on the financials and logistics.
With so much at stake (and so much time to work with), they needed to go all out on presentation. Do an East-Village like flyover video, high quality renderings etc. Well executed concepts get people excited and talking, and looking for ways to find solutions.
I think the whole proposal is a joke that has no chance in hell of ever coming to fruition as-is, but the Flames did themselves a huge disservice in how they rolled it out.
