I'd rather them tear down MacMahon and build there than Balzac...
Create some hybrid rink/stadium.
Stamps can play on some other field until she's done.
You'll get your enclosed roof.
The city can build a fieldhouse wherever they want, it'll be setup for amateur sport and accessible all the time like planned. Stadium/arena is near a transit line and is fairly core. Should be room for parking there. Combine Stamps/Flames facilities to save on costs. Costs born by ticket holders as ticket tax, some 'public money' 'cause you know that's how pro sports works, and ownership kicks in bigger.
No 'trans-formative' idea. No cleanup. But no infrastructure re-design required.
(it's basically just a horrible idea I am throwing out there...and yet I feel like it has more merits than CalgaryNext)
