Basically it boils down to two things people take issue with:
- The renderings (which are being interpreted as the final version).
- Ken King's amateur presentation.
Then there is the idea of having a field house/arena/stadium combination made into a sports district. If that doesn't get people excited, then this really is a tough crowd. I think some people are losing sight of the fact that we are proposed to get something like this; how it comes about will be an entirely other issue that has well documented public frustration.
When I look at places like Melbourne, one of the premier cities in the world, and they have a fantastic sports district, you can't help but get inspired.
Let me ask this - does anyone here hate the idea of a proposed sports district with all the fixings proposed in inner city Calgary?

I can boil this down to two points:
1) People here said they saw the drawings/plans etc and it was amazing
2) The Flames presented something that would get a failing grade in a high school marketing course.
The expectations were set by posters here of something amazing and then we get something weak. You have to be able to understand why they are taking these 'amazing new renders' with a grain of salt.
