Like it or not, they are an important stakeholder in this discussion. They have their own development plans that may or may not align with Plan B arena. Stampede can make just as much claim to civic and economic benefit as anyone (Youth Campus, conferences, etc.)
I just rarely see things moving forward. Their Agrium events center is pretty nice I guess.

* the Casino they were terrible at running
* Mainstreet, and thinking Margarita was a good anchor
* BMO expansions taking decades
* Their Hotel idea that never happened
* Horse races at Stampede Park are long gone
* no plan for coke stage which is in a terrible spot
