Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta looks cool, but that project has it's share of legal fights going on because the roof on that had some serious problems. The design was extremely complex, and there are a lot of after the fact blaming of various parties for why it had issues. Be it design, or execution by the contractors building it.

I hope they can avoid this on the Calgary arena, the roof on an arena is far less area than a Football stadium, so hopefully they can do something interesting without it having a lot of after construction problems. No doubt what you see today will end up being scaled back due to other cost overruns that occur throughout the project.

But if they use the Falcons model of concession pricing....I think fans in Calgary would be ecstatic.
