"It's not for the elites. It's not for the hockey players, not for the football players. It's for all of the citizens in our city," he said as he unveiled drawings that also showed several new condo and commercial towers and a hotel surrounding the new sports facilities.
The Flames could barely plan out at rendering of condo towers...do you really believe they could have a comprehensive plan for an entire neighborhood? It's easy to have grand visions in your head. Its a totally different thing to actually make them happen. The Flames can't even make an arena happen, never mind a whole district.

Go look at the East Village, or Riverwalk, or Curry Barracks. That's what happens when an organization that knows what it's doing stars redeveloping a crappy piece of land. The Flames couldn't even make a decent powerpoint presentation of one.
