I've stated all along and again - you guys are looking for a solution where there's no problem.
You've got 140 bookings between the Flames/Roughnecks/Hitmen/Heat. That's easy and it makes the most sense for all to be at the Saddledome. Like getback said, the biggest issue in all of this will be the teams fighting for weekend games at the Dome and that will be solved by pecking order. |
A lot of weekend Flames games have to start late anyway (like 8PM+) because the stupid priority of eastern games getting televised first on HNIC.
We could easily fit the Heat in for afternoon games?
