The Flames could have caught that wave, but they stood still and waited for a better one, but that did not come. And now the Flames are pretty much blaming it on Calgarians.
The new arena has been a topic since the Flames went to the SCF in 2004. They finally "presented" their "knock your socks off" idea in 2014. But now it's our fault that we play in the oldest building in the league. Yeah.

I am not, nor will I ever be a fan of the Oilers. I have zero desire to attempt to go to the arena smack dab in the middle of downtown Edmonton.
The arena deal was sealed well before I moved here, and I have the privilege of paying part of the tab with my tax dollars.
