Don't need any of that other space that it appears every single arena in the world needs.

The new rink, in the suggested spot, would be a well-hit 3-wood from the Saddledome. What's going to happen to all that empty space
where people going to Flames games park right now? And why wouldn't that be used for parking?
Fine and dandy if you don't like this spot for a new building, but my guess is that the powers that be aren't proposing this spot without considering things as obvious as access routes and parking.
I'm sure it didn't take you (or anyone else) long to consider it. I doubt the people putting forth the idea didn't think of it.
