I figure the arena going there is dead, though I think it would have been a very good usage, financing arguments aside.

The problem with Calgary next was too much land was being used for the stadium leaving not enough money in the CRL to pay for things like the clean up and infrastructure requirements in the area.
Just building an arena in the WV would be interesting but I'd still worry about development canibalization.
