Let's face it, the Calgary Next proposal fell flat and is unlikely to proceed any time soon. My best guess is that it will not happen for at least a couple of mayoral terms from now when Nenshi retires (he's too smart to fall for Ken King's trickery).

So if you believe like I do that a replacement arena is at least 15 years from becoming a reality, I think short and medium-term renovations to the Saddledome should be back under consideration. Not just ones that generate more revenue for Flames ownership like last time, but also ones that make for a better fan experience!

My suggestion is that each renovation idea be it's own post. That way, we can use the newly reinstated 'Thanks' feature to vote for the good ones.
