I still think the best solution to the football stadium is another grandstand opposite the current one. I wish the Stampede would move in this direction instead of the Corral renovation.



I know about the T-bar - still wondering what the 'course access' capital improvement would be.

The '88 course looked pretty terrible by today's standards:

I am coming around to using Nakiska over Lake Louise though.
I know someone at the Calgary Stampede and from what I have been told the premium seating areas are going to be undergoing a major overhaul soon. I'm not sure what their plans are but it supposed to be completely different so it may or may not be a viable option as you suggested by the time the Olympics roll around.
