The Stampede grounds and involvement of the Stampede board are a non-starter. Flames ownership is looking for development opportunities around the new facility, not just getting a new arena or football stadium. The real money is in the real estate around these new buildings and the redevelopment opportunities that will exist once these anchor tenants are established. With the Stampede board owning most of the land around the grounds it is highly unlikely the Flames have any interest in building anywhere near the grounds.
