I am on board with either plan to be honest. CalgaryNext is a project that I think really takes the City to the next level. Developing an important yet unused piece of land will help widen the urban footprint of the city and open up a whole new district of downtown. The cost of the project and remediation work that is required make the project a challenging one.
Option B is appealing because the Stampede location is also great and it tackles the true biggest need which is a new events centre. I am fine with retaining McMahon as that is more enjoyable football watching experience (outdoors vs indoors). I don't really care about the field house either way.
I just want a deal to be made.
