That's the point.
The current arena is on the Stampede grounds, which eliminates the ability to develop around it.
Ans that's the problem with the proposed new location as well (not that it is Stampede grounds but that it is controlled by the city and they have their own plans for it).
My point is that CSEC wants a situation like Edmonton, Glendale and LA where they can develop projects around the arena.
With the city's site, that isn't really an option.
