^^ Agreed. That first deal falling through was a godsend.

The one on the left was never a final design

Did they show Weegar the new Flames dressing room renderings?

Need his seal of approval since he got the Flames the new building.

Or train/uber home so there are less drunk drivers after games

Probably still way bigger than the current one. I don't think I've ever actually parked in it.

With the Springbank reservoir there will never be flooding like that in Calgary again. At least not from the Elbow system.

This is perfect, I was worried it was going to be much smaller.

And the site is at a higher elevation than the Saddledome. And it was not Row 20. More like 10 as I recall.

[CedarMeter]

I like it. Looks great.

Look at photos from 2013. The spot where the new arena will be was mostly dry while everything else around it flooded.

We only have 1, so me and my wife can't drive separate EVs to the game, we'd have to carpool anyways.

[getbak]

I always take an EV to the games... The C-Train!

Might be a few days for detailed floorplans to be available.

So, you're saying I can stop refreshing the city's development map site every 5 minutes?
