I think the equivalent here is the public use of the fieldhouse. Ice District is located in a place that required little-to-no onsite infrastructure upgrades. No new parks, streets, riverwalk, realigned roads, environmental clean up, etc. perhaps CalgaryNEXT did include the pedestrian bridge connecting to Sunalta Station. Do you see any way they could build an new arena and covered multi-use football stadium for less than $840 as the funding section states?

That would be the advantage of a site like Stampede or Remington. It's ready to go, like Ice District. Just plug in the building and surrounding private projects on the books and boom.
