It'll be years, 5 minimum. Gut tells me 8-10. Of course, if they give up this strategy and go for an easier location, then it could be as soon as 3.

Hate to say it but I agree with Scotty, it won't happen because its going to be a political nuclear bomb between all the levels of government.

If the current funding model remains?
Hopefully never.

As the Flames imagine it today? I don't see it ever happening.
If CMLC takes over and somehow integrates the stadium into their existing East Village vision? I'd say it's still 50/50 that East Village will ever include a sports complex that large, but if so, shovels in the ground in 6 years.

I'll be an optimist and say 2017 - with the caveat that I mean starting the cleanup as step 1, not that the cleanup will be done by then.
There's a public process to unfold, and there will be lots of back and forth yet, but I don't think it's actually that hard of the will is there. And I think it is.

10+ years or when the ownership group decides they need a new arena and will pay for it.

Yea... It's still pretty pie in the sky at this point. I think HotHotHeat has it right. As the years slide on the pressure will grow on ownership to provide a facility that can attract players and fans in the modern NHL age.
Right now... it's just not broken enough. Fans want to come watch, players want to play in Calgary.. not a lot of pressure.

There does seem to be a lot more chatter from the City about cleaning up the site. So that's a start I guess. But I still voted "never".

Never. The Dome is fine and nobody cares about the Stamps or Katy Perry skipping town.

Flames are asking for too much tax dollars in the funding formula and until that changes I don't have confidence the project will get off the ground.

It's going to happen and in that spot but I simply don't see how it can happen in less than 5/6 years.

I can't honestly say I care about any of the bands that skip Calgary, but lots of people care about that.
I agree that the Dome is fine for hockey (except the washrooms), but as a building that could be used year-round it's obsolete.

I voted never because I think this whole thing will get a major overhaul before it goes forward.

When does CalgaryNext break ground?
