This is an opportunity to fix it and provide an anchor to that area. I also love the concept of the field house. This is a long time coming to Calgary and greatly needed. The central location is key as is the access to mass transit. This is a space for all Calgarians. The new arena is also a must. The reasons for the arena have been discussed at length, but the bottom line is it allows access to events that would bypass Calgary otherwise. There is a big benefit to the city and general public here. The sports teams get their needed facilities, which we all agree is due. Everyone gets what they need here.
