It is amazing how little imagination people have and how they can't visualize what the bigger concepts look like. I think the Flames over-estimated the sophistication of their audience and that put them behind the eight ball.
Not enough sharks with lasers. We saw how the needle moved when the latest renderings came out. The support would be there with a better presentation.
I disagree. I think of the Flames roll out the disco ball and wow people with a new presentation they will get the support they need. The Flames have a lot of good will with the majority of Calgarians and I think they would be given a second chance to flesh out more details. If the Flames are forced to go this alone I think Calgarians are going to be shocked and disappointed by the result. They definitely won't like the prices they are going to experience. Careful what you wish for.

Not everyone is swayed by flashy pictures.
Are you suggesting that the Flames will charge more if they have to pay more? Suggesting that they would otherwise 'discount' out of their own good will and not charging what the market will bear?
