I've argued before that I think no arena/stadium makes WV
more likely to happen, not less. This is because I just don't think the scheme with CalgaryNEXT will pencil out. A redevelopment without it just seems so much more financially viable with something like a CRL.
An arena at North edge of Stampede along with a nice entertainment district might actually induce demand and lead to quicker build out in EV, which makes WV viable sooner, actually.
