That said, traffic, both human and vehicle was diverting south towards the Stampede etc previously. Now the new tent will be in the residents direct transportation corridor (11ave/12ave). More congestion, and more noise.

The owners at Arriva and Guardian have a restrictive covenant on their land title that states that they shall not challenge, protest or interfere with the Calgary Exhibition uses, developments and activities, future or existing (2005 at the time) on the Stampede lands.
This effectively formalizes the notion that "you bought right next to the Stampede, there's going to be noises, smells, lights, etc. It's not going away, live with it."
Being that this development is not on the Stampede lands, it doesn't fall under this restrictive covenant. The Cowboys tent location falls outside of what was originally formally signed up for. For what it's worth.
