I don't know how anyone can argue that the Flames put their best proposal forward in 2015 when even they updated the renderings to look significantly different from what was originally presented.

Here are the original renderings from 2015, which look like someone dropped a George Foreman Grill next to Bow Trail and called it a day: http://calgaryherald.com/sports/hock...a-stadium-plan

Here are the updated renderings from 2016: http://dailyhive.com/calgary/calgary...cost-city-hall

These look much nicer. The stadium actually looks like it would be a nice place to watch a game. The public-access space built over top of Bow Trail opens up the river front nicely.

I wonder how different the public reception would have been in 2015 if they had shown us the 2016 renderings then?
