I don't quite understand the need of a Field House for winter sports. The proposal is the field house would be used for Figure Skating and Short-Track.

Why wouldn't figure skating be held in the Dome or new NHL arena? Why would they put the marquee event of the Games in a 5,000 seat arena?

Couldn't Short-Track be held in the Corral? The Oval? Max Bell?

I think Calgary needs a Field House, but not for winter sports.
