I have a feeling my seat relocation in the new arena will leave me unhappy. I hope I am wrong.

Any idea how other teams have handled relocation in new rinks?

I hope you are wrong too, but given the majority of the Flames fanbase tendency to bitch and moan about everything the team does, you likely will not be alone.

Mentally and financially, I am bracing myself for the possibility of a PSL.

Hey, this may be the end of Ken King saying "soon" from now on! Only took a couple years.

This requires clarification.
The arena will be in High River.
Homestand's new seats will be in Olds.
All those extra luxury boxes take up room, yanno.

Yeah, I think its likely, especially if they're talking about limited/no public money. I will definitely have to re-evaluate whether I want to keep my tickets if they do that, depending on how much $.

AltaGuy has a magnetic personality and exudes positive energy, which is infectious to those around him. He has an unparalleled ability to communicate with people, whether he is speaking to a room of three or an arena of 30,000.

I can't believe the location hasn't been leaked yet. Pretty anxious to find that out, moreso than even the arena design.
Anyone? ANYONE?!

West Bow Trail? As in where that big empty lot of land is along the new train tracks?

I'm fully expecting a dual football/hockey stadium unit in the West End where the Greyhound building is.
For reference, I believe it will be similar to what is being built in Moscow:

A project like this will really reinforce the comments Ken King made about it being 'something we've never seen before'

According to the wiki page, that thing costs $1.5B, and the seating capacity for the rink is only 12,000 (expandable to 15,000). The football stadium is 33,000 (expandable to 45,000). Seems too small for hockey, and a waste of money for the CFL. It doesn't seem at all feasable for Calgary IMO.
