I'm just figuring that if $200M up front, with land remediation, road infrastructure (that we need anyways) and with future compensation is the ask on a huge project like this then it shouldnt be an insurmountable issue.

Possible condo/office space as well? Few developments in the states (CityCenter in Vegas comes to mind, but I'm sure there's others) have a mixed use complex with residences attached to shopping/hotel/other attractions as well.

That's a great move by the Stamps. Use the fieldhouse for the handful of dates you have a year, open it up for public use year round.....win-win-win.

Okay, so I'd imagine it'll be a state of the art (by CFL standards) football stadium that also has a bunch of typical fieldhouse amenities, but not your standard, bland fieldhouse look.
Basically a fieldhouse in name only. If anything, maybe a clever move by the Flames to make it a "public use" "fieldhouse" and football stadium to attract public dollars.

I'm as excited as all of you but this whole entire process has led me to believe that we will be disappointed with the amount (lack of) information we are actually told.
The qualifier filled email pretty much cements that belief.
If we get an accurate rendering of the finished product I will be shocked.

If it will be a combination fieldhouse and stadium, I guess that pretty much confirms it will be a covered stadium.

That would be amazing if it was. Especially with the pitch of two arenas incorporated with the project.

I can't wait until the Stamps are out of McMahon. I hate that stadium. I no longer attend Stamps games live because it's such a pain to get to and you end up missing way too much of the game if you want to get food or go to the washroom.

If all it takes to fool our politicians into thinking that this isn't a football stadium for the Stamps is throwing in some public facilities and calling it a "field house" then we're in trouble....

Have you ever had a positive thought in your life? Just from your online persona you come across as one of those people that's been disappointed so many times that they feel they have to mentally prepare for disappointment at every turn.

I might be either naive or just overly optimistic, but in lieu of how long an announcement of any variety has taken, amidst Ken King remarking he would only come forth once he has relevant information to share, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt here.
It wouldn't be consistent with him to come out and make a generic open ended statement, since he could have done that at any time. I'd like to think he's further ahead than and consistent with his stance all this time.

FAN960: rumoured that they are interested for MLS team. With the new field house it can accommodate the team in the next 10 years.

Why do you have to fool the politicians? The Flames just play within the rules, they don't set them.
