I thought this part sounded like a commercial:
Quote:
WGR: Scotia Place arena is scheduled to open in 2027, which will be the future home of the Calgary Flames. What impact will this new sports entertainment facility have on the team and the community?
ME: The most important thing is the impact it’s going to have on the community. A long time ago, I sat down with some business leaders in Calgary, and they had developed the concept of a gathering place. And in many communities like Calgary, these event centers, in our case, Scotia Place, are gathering places. It’s where people in the community come together for events, for concerts, for conventions, for meetings. And the Saddledome was a great building in its time, but its best-before had passed. We were falling behind.

So, the part where the Flames can make a bunch more money is just a side effect?
