Flames, City, private business etc.
Having the saddledome as our showpiece for a 2026 Olympics with a 43 year old arena would be reason enough for an update and some funding
It needs to be built anyways, so spend 500 mill now instead of 800 mill in 10 years time.
I feel having an Olympics without at least 1 new facility is a missed opportunity
