I was at a sth meeting about a month ago where KK talked about the arena. Here's the jist of what he said:
- They are basically right where Edmonton is in terms of planning but don't publicize it.
- Have 3 sites selected that they need to choose from. 2 are urban, 1 a little more suburban.
- Will NOT be using tax payers dollars to pay for it. Sounds like a casino or something might be used.
- Will be a first class arena and they are going to take care of all the problems with the current saddledome.
- Targeting a completion in 3 - 5 years.
That's all I can remember at this point.

As been said many times in this thread, I can't see how any of the issues that precude the railtown / stampede area are anything close to the cluster###### of issues in trying to locate this thing in West Village.
