Hopefully they factored that in. If there was a future FIFA mens World Cup in Canada, it would be amazing if Calgary would be one of the venues, so I really hope they thought about seating and adequate field type. I mean you would think they would have.

The walk to Kensington will be shorter and much nicer along the river then the Saddledome to anything decent on 17th no?

Uh oh. I see 'CRL.'
Thats where the Oilers got their money from. That means they want Provincial money through the City.

I would think they would have because I'm sure thats in their minds, but I cant say it with any certainty because I only know what they've put on the powerpoint and it wasnt there.
It would be a huge mistake if they didnt.

CRL is through the city like the CMLC did in the East Village. This is a lot less than the EV though.

Well there it is. It's an $890 million stadium project: $200M from Flames, $200M from city, $240M Comm revitalization levy, $250M ticket tax

McMahon (up to U of C) can be a redevelopment site like West Campus.

I hope if this is subject to the 1% public art thing, that we get local individuals (let's say students from SAIT, MRU and U of C) to design the darn things rather than contract them out.
