Calgary City Council will narrowly approve continuing the Olympic bid process after receiving last-minute financial support from the provincial and federal governments.
The City will then issue a request for proposals for the construction/operation of a new arena in Victoria Park. This will include very public discussions with both AEG and the Oak View Group, the organizations that helped get privately funded arenas for Vegas, Seattle, and Long Island.
This will be the kick in the ass that will bring the Flames back to the table and a new arena deal will be finalized before the end of summer.
