In 2031 Calgary hosts the ISU World Figure Skating Championships
in the newer, modern facilities.
And assuming there's a Fieldhouse:
Calgary hosts the 2027 IAAF World Indoor Championship, the 2028 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships etc etc.
Not to mention the big conferences etc that can be held in such a space.
