Are flames fans concerned about the team leaving if the arena situation falls through

[Bunk]

Recommendation out of today's closed session at Council includes:

2. Authorize the Mayor and Event Centre Committee Chair to make a Public Announcement.


So some kind of announcement is coming.

That would be awesome news! I wouldn't get too excited until there was a shovel in the ground the concrete being mixed based on past experience.

3:30 at the Event Centre site...with CSEC reps.

I'd say we at least have a "framework" deal, or a full blown agreement in place. We'll see.

Exciting.

Congratulations Calgary. I look forward to drinking overpriced beers in your inverted bowl arena!

Is that still the one they're doing?

I'm all for a deal and a new arena, but have become skeptical until I see shovels in the ground. My prediction:

1) Province announces $$$ to support project.
2) UCP loses election.
3) Notley kills the $$$.
4) Deal falls through.
5) Back to the table. Rinse and repeat.

No, the inverted bowl was scrapped.

Gotcha. So the Little Caesar's Arena clone? Which would actually be pretty sweet.

Now, what do they call it?

Pizza 73rena?

My friends were complaining they were charging an extra $2 for butter on their popcorn now. Don't worry! at the new arena it will be $18 including butter!
