Apologies for nitpicking one sentence out of many, but how would an east village arena have more parking/travel issues? It's as close to downtown parking options as the West Village (actually probably more considering the amount of City owned parking on the east side, as well as the Stampede grounds). Public transportation wise it would be within walking distance to 2 LRT lines and will have another come online most likely around the time a stadium opens. It's also within walking distance of some of the densest neighborhoods in Calgary.
An East Village/Vic Park location is about as good as one can hope for in terms of transportation options.
