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.

Then I'll have to listen again. Listening to the interview, King was saying that the City was considering a Victoria Park location and that was something the Flames were not going to be doing. This was during the CalgaryNEXT proposal discussions. I wouldn't have posted if that wasn't the case.
My point being, "Plan B" was probably an option from the start for the Flames, and the Flames would be disingenuous to say that it wasn't an option when the City considered it a more viable solution.
