But......putting an arena right in the downtown core is a very bad idea, see Edmonton.

As we saw in 2013, the West Village area is not really at risk for flooding, even though it's right next to the river.
Also, oddly enough, even though Stampede Park was badly hit during the flood, the "Plan B" area being discussed for the new arena (the corner of 12th Ave and 4th St) remained dry.
