One thing to note about the parkade façade, on the elevation drawings, the blank wall facing 14th Avenue is designated as artwork space. When the building is complete, there will likely be a mural of some sort along the parkade wall, so it won't be a giant grey blank.

If they hung those big player banners on there to advertise the team, I'd be ok with that.

Why are you commenting on my elevation? You’re not a billion dollar stadium Architect.

That's looking at the SE corner of the building, so the intersection of 14th Ave and 5th st I believe.

Heard the guys on the Fan this morning claiming the Gaudreau/Tkatchuk dynasty was so strong that 'it would last a thousand years'.

The street design matters a lot, but ultimately it boils down to location. This location is a very marginal improvement over the Saddledome.
The CP tracks, and to a lesser extent the LRT east of Macleod Tr are major barriers to connecting vibrant pockets.
Stampede and Victoria Park are actually well placed for Siege defense. Bounded on the south and east by a river, the north by CP tracks, and the west by Macleod Tr/LRT. The access points are limited, often bottlenecks, and there just isn't much organic flow.
The 17 Ave level crossing/LRT station redesign will help a bit, but the arena placement was an opportunity to really break down one of those barriers.

With the removal of CMLC, it's hard to see improvement with these concerns

The only significant difference between the original Saddledome seating layout and the new arena's layout is that the Saddledome's suite level was/is at the very top of the upper bowl. In the new arena, the suite level will be between the two main seating bowls.

There are a few 'super suites' in Dome's the upper area, but the typical suites are all between the two bowls...

Because I would look again. There is maybe one corner that I’d consider a bit of a waste, but we’ll see what happens.
Again, that’s why some opinions mean the same as any others regardless of their profession. Objective issues? Yeah, that’s not what we’re talking about here, but “professionals” who designed a strip mall once would have you believe otherwise.

But their influence is significantly reduced now.
