Really frustrating that every city in Canada appears to be able to have nice things while we can’t in Calgary. Anyone who doubts the public benefit of a stadium district need only spend about 5 minutes in Landsdowne park.
I totally agree with this, I was amazed by the facility and everything around it at the Grey Cup. Any new facility we plan in Calgary needs to be built-up like that, other wise it will just be a lost opportunity.
