Probably a massive overstatement lol. When the news comes out it will be just more of the same blah blah blah but what the heck, hope for the best right?

A negotiating team for the city is close to reaching a deal with the Calgary Flames on building a new arena to replace the NHL team's aging home rink, a council member says.
oun. Ward Sutherland told CBC News there is a proposal ready to present to city council on Monday.
"It's not a deal at this particular point, there's still lots of steps to go through. It's really a proposal and we'll be giving an update," Sutherland said.
"Negotiations, as we mentioned a few weeks ago, had been ongoing. It's a multi-party deal, so it's very complex. It deals with the Stampede board, the Flames organization, CMLC [Calgary Municipal Land Corporation] and also the city.".

Yawn. Wake me up when it's done.

It is until you have to explain to people that it isn’t real. Which happens FAR too often.

One of these things is not like the others

By the time I finish my song?

There's still going to be a huge fight over this. People are talking about pausing the Green Line and looking for cost savings ($60m) and at the same time funding a portion of the arena. It's hardly a done deal.

Massively misleading headline...but still...finally some news. I was starting to get worried that if we didnt hear anything by the fall that this was all going to fall apart again.

Not being a resident of Calgary, the cost doesn't affect me much, so it will be nice to have this ugly negotiation in the rear view mirror and enjoy a beautiful new arena mostly on TV.
Hopefully, you taxpayers get a fair shake.

If the cost of this combined with the cost to fix the old Olympic facilities is close to what the city portion of the 2026 games would have been I'll be a bit disappointed.

The renderings I saw, including the one on the CBC news site, are absolutely awful. I hope that's not what it ends up looking like.

So this city is facing a funding crisis due to the high number of vacancies in the commercial sector, is trying to pause the development of a new transit line, is panicking on how to provide relief to small businesses, yet it has money to put towards a new arena?
Doesn't pass the smell test to me.

That looks like dog ####! The building will be in a historial area so I would like to see a combination of red brick and glass for a timeless look.

Red brick and glass will just turn it into a SAIT arena.. Not a fan.
and you should see what the Edmonton factor turned that original drawing into! haha
