There's almost no one excited for this project in its current state.

I don't really understand the thought process the Flames have. Ok, you pick a site that is a hurdle from the get go with the clean up. Why not just stop there, and go to the city and say this site interests us but before we go forward can we see if this is viable or not.
It really looks like the Flames put in minimal vision because they aren't even sure if the site will work because of the clean up. Why bother doing half assed sketches and plans when they clearly waiting to see if the site will work at all.
I know they say they don't have a plan B, but that's only because plan A is so far in it's infancy it would be easy to scrap if the land clean up is an issue.
