To me that makes a lot of sense. The Calgary Flames franchise needs a new arena in a viable market for NHL hockey. The City of Calgary needs a new event center / Arena with capacity between 15-20,000 in the City of Calgary. In my mind one of those parties has a few more options and that speaks to how this got done.
