New conceptual plan to redevelop area around McMahon Stadium

Quote:
A city committee is getting a first look this morning at a draft design to redevelop the 100-acre site at Foothills Athletic Park and the McMahon Stadium lands.
The multi-phase, long-range development would include an indoor athletic field house, outdoor fields, renovations to the aging McMahon Stadium, a “four-season plaza”, hotel and mixed-use residential buildings.
The redesigned sports district, still in its preliminary stages, would cluster multiple facilities or assets owned or operated by the City, the University of Calgary and the McMahon Stadium Society.
In 2019, council dedicated $19 million in “start-up funding” from developer-funded levies to proceed with design and planning work associated with a new field house at Foothills Athletic Park. While the city’s project “roadmap” suggests construction on a field house could begin as early as 2022 and be completed by 2024, city administration has acknowledged that build-out of the area could take between 10 and 20 years.
Here are some of the conceptual drawings presented to the Foothills Athletic Park Redevelopment Advisory Committee.
