Didn't go well last time, so I'll just have a wait and see attitude on this one. All I care about is that it isn't done poorly/cheaply and that the taxpayers of Calgary/Alberta don't get hosed.

In the last iteration (July 2017) of the deal, the funding for the City's $175m cash contribution was from leftover funding from previous infrastructure grants identified during Infrastructure Calgary process.

Or fund it 100% with taxpayer money, and give every taxpayer in the city a card or code they can use online 10 (5?) times a year for a free ticket to an even (game, concert, etc). The ticket would have to be non-transferable of course, because scalpers.

That would work for some Calgarians, but certainly not all.

Fair point. Maybe extend it to tickets for any event in a city-owned/funded place.

If it's infrastructure grants, is there provincial and federal money in there too?

Taking a while to get to 5000

Time to start thinking up names for this new arena.

Lol so they're investing significantly more than what was essentially 0 dollars in Edmonton. Hooray!

As long as it's a new arena (hopefully the inverted bowl design) you could name the thing the Ducks Unlimited Centre and I wouldn't care. lol

Truly, as long as it isn't named Roger's X or Scotiabank Y, I'll be thrilled.
And not for nothing, but we need a comeback on naming stadiums things like 'Forum', 'Colesium' and 'Gardens'.
This Centre/Place/Arena #### is boring.

Has the inverted bowl design been done anywhere yet?
I'd hate to have the first application of a new design.
