Might just be you, however there is something about a powerful, blonde woman in a suit.

Really interested to know if anyone has any info toward when we might see something in regards to the new arena? I figure now that Ken is focusing more on this project, and the election has passed, we should see something soon no?

I hate this thread.
Every time I see it, it gets my hopes up, then dashes them

In 3 to 4 years, the Flames will have designed 2 other Ugly 3rd Jerseys, to boost revenues so as to afford a State of the Art arena.

After seeing the cowboy boot on skates, I'm not really sure I want to see what the Flames have planned for the arena.

Exactly. If the last 2 jersey revisions have taught us anything, it's that the cowboy stampitecture design dumbdumbs Ken King and Rollie Cyr will ultimately decide on a proposal that looks horrendous and tacky. Not to mention no public engagement or fan consultation.

this has been handled very poorly, from a PR perspective. I'm not sure they care though.
There couldn't be more of a "whatever" topic on this message board.
Hopefully it is built before I die... I'm healthy and late 20's.

to be brutally honest, I'd much prefer see them totally revamp the saddledome and not build a new building. I know I'm in the infinitely small minority, but the dome is (in my mind) iconic, and instantly recognisable. Show photos of consol energy centre, Rogers arena, MTS centre, etc., and its likely people get them confused/have no idea which one is which. But show them a photo of the dome, and bam, Calgary.
I'm not suggesting a new coat of paint, I mean a tear-down to the concrete, and fresh install. Perhaps you engineer a way to raise/reinforce the roof to allow more concerts, and while at it, widen the concourse. You properly cover the bare concrete with more pleasant décor, and re-do most of the seats.
The saddledome is a recognisable landmark. It serves its primary function, to provide a large event space/arena for sports/concerts, quite admirably. For simply going to your seat and watching the game, it is perfect. But since modern business culture revolves solely around maximizing profit, it will be considered woefully inadequate. 
Just my 2 cents.

You're suggesting that they can fit a modern arena with all the trimmings in the same footprint that the saddledome currently occupies?

What is missing? Bigger concourse and more lower bowl boxes?

Well, I'm of the opinion that people really should let go of the past.

I, personally, think that while the Saddledome should be torn right down, I also have no problem with the new stadium being a recognisable landmark like this one has been. People hate on the western designs constantly, but it's part if Calgary's identity, it's never going to go away no matter how cheesy or fake you think it is.
Let the arena be shaped like a horse head for all I care. Just make it more than some cookie cutter box.
