Fun fact - there's really three firms that do the largest chunk of arenas, sports stadia and conference facilities across North America - Populous, HOK, and AECOM. Populous was the convention centre designer for the recently-completed BMO Centre (with S2 and Stantec as the local firms), and HOK is doing the Flames arena (with Dialog as the local firm). We have two of the three foremost architectural experts (IMO) in these building typologies helping shape the future of the Rivers District, which is great.
