You can hate CalgaryNEXT and the presentation of it all you want, you can hate the renderings, you can hate how it was executed by the Flames... but calling it a 'second rate amateur facility' is incredibly disrespectful because CalgaryNEXT pushed the boundaries of new sports design / construction innovation. It is a conjoined facility acting as an anchor for a new city district, and it is unlike anything proposed in the world. You haven't even seen the floor plans, to the proposed amenities in greater detail.
I'd like you to explain your comment if you can. 'Second rate' is such a weird comment to make and I'd like to know how the facility design itself garnered a comment like that. I take it you are an architect and know how to design a better one?

Has anyone seen floor plans, elevations and amenities? I have no doubt a good architect can come up with an awesome design, but all we’ve seen so far is a few not very impressive sketches. If there’s more out there that will blow us away please share.
