The Youth Campus is a real project on Stampede Park.
As for putting an arena on Stampede Park (land owned by the City), I personally believe both the City and Stampede would want it there, I think the hesitation would be from the Flames themselves. But I think it's something that could be worked out.

Thanks for clarifying Bunk.
In that case that just solidifies my preference for the west side. A combination sports and entertainment district is very appealing to me, and the west side location is still preferred.
I can appreciate the idealistic nature of the youth campus, but I'm not sure thats the right place to put it. Not sure what the best thing to do there.
I am sure The Flames group is mostly concerned with the best interests of their teams and if they can create the best situation for them they will, naturally. Not having to be so spread out and deal with fewer entities is to thier advantage, as the creosote clean up and development of the west side is to every Calgarians advantage. IMO still win win.
