The Athletics had been negotiating with the City of Oakland to build a new waterfront stadium on a site known as Howard Terminal since 2018, but have had many other stadium plans fall through over the past two decades. However, after the report in the Review-Journal was published Wednesday, Oakland mayor Sheng Thao said the city would end those negotiations and pursue other projects for the waterfront site.

If you look at the cases, they are quite similar. Flames are now where the A's were 5-10 years ago. The last new areas in the NHL was Detroit in 2017, Vegas and Seattle don't count.
Even if the Flames cut a deal tomorrow, we're looking at 2027?
