Where anywhere in the CalgaryNEXT presentation or collateral does it give any indication that they were looking to develop anything other then an arena/Fieldhouse?

The area around the Saddledome is being primed for development by CMLC and the Flames would be free to purchase that land or any other land currently for sale to develop whatever they want, unless you mean the Flames are pushing to be given land on which to develop.
