This is why I call out everyone who says the Stampede Board is some meddling evil group who won't work with the Flames. That's not the case at all. The Stampede would freakin love to have the new arena on the Grounds. It's the Flames who don't want to be there because they can't make as much money.
Ken, why do you think the Stampede needs to be convinced of Plan A? Why wouldn't they love the idea of Plan A?

It's a little different. City owns all the land in WV. They arent going to give the team anymore land than is needed for the Rink/stadium. If they want anymore they would have to pay for it. The land is valuable with or without the rink
