Yeah, I'm all for an efficient games, but if it's going to be some embarrassment where they just gussy up the Stampede Ground venues...I'd rather just not. It still needs to be something we can be proud of, and something that leaves a nice physical legacy (ie. a new Olympic Plaza, a new stadium, etc) and pushes this city forward.
I think the Vancouver games were a pretty good benchmark. Calgary may not need to hit that mark in terms of new venues, but I don't think its unreasonable to expect something similar.
