When I saw the press release i was very happy! The taxes are worth it to me. And either way the city needs to pay for a new arena, a new arena should have happened a long time ago, I'm a proud born and raised Calgarian and I'm embarrassed that we still use the arena built in 1983, and that Edmonton got it done 1st!
Calgary is an amazing city and Calgarians and Flames fans deserve this.
Some of my earliest memories included the battle of Alberta, and I couldn't imagine losing that great tradition!
Let's leave the losing history of the last 30 years of the Flames in the Saddledome behind and inject the excitement of a new building into this franchise and bring home the cup!
