If you are talking about when the Flames started, I still don't recall it. I was only 18 or so when the Flames played there. Frankly, in my circles, the Saddledome was a more ridiculed name. |
I was referring to 1951. By the time the Flames arrived, the Corral had been the heart of Calgary's sports scene for 30 years.

IIRC, it was supposed to happen as early as last fall. But given the economy, I'm guessing either the Stampede or the various levels of government are balking at a half billion BMO Centre expansion.
