Flames trying to shoehorn their preferred location and then walking away from talks with the City is crazy. There is no way they haven't considered the Victoria Park location, this is grandstanding.

No idea what you think you heard as I heard nothing like that at all. One of us needs an ear cleaning.
In fact he was quite clear that they have made a VIC PARK proposal to the city but hadn't heard a word back from them since July 31, and when Nenshi publically proclaimed his vision for Vic Park 2 days ago, KK called his office to get clarity. When he was told by Nenshi's chief of staff that the CSEG idea was a no go for the mayor, KK relayed that information to ownership. They then made a decision to quit negotiating with the city at all.
