There it is right there: zero progress has been made; not even past the starting line. Zero progress = failure.
Yeah, people who think there has been earnest work going on behind the scenes for the last 8 or 9 years are kidding themselves. Flames ownership could have got a project underway back in 2007 if they wanted to. But they didn't. The fact there won't be a new arena until 2023 or so is entirely on the Flames owners, and their unwavering desire to spend as little of their own money as possible. The timeline for this thing has always been entirely in their hands.
