Amazing news. Can’t wait to visit when the new arena is ready to go
Inflation/overrun will be assumed by the city. So gondek wanted to renegotiate the previous deal cuz she didn’t want to pay for an extra 80 mil in extra charges but now is willing to pay infinite amount of money?! What an idiot
Edit: CSEC axed the deal but did so because Gondek didn’t want to pay extra charges. CSEC bad, Gondek bad. This arena deal also bad
I’m just happy it seems like they are working on a new design. I was not a fan of the stapler design from the deal that fell through.
Totally not what we should be spending money on as a city right now. The Flames will be here for a long long time and all it took was city council bending over and taking it in the rear.
How will the reduced seating affect things?
Am I reading this right? Because this sounds horrible:
“Baked into the MOU is that the City of Calgary will be responsible for any cost overruns.”
Lucky us
The community rink sounds fun. Does anyone know whether the City will have rights to concession sales and other stuff like that?
Gondek shouldve stuck with the previous deal and assumed the cost overruns if she was going to do it anyways… Seems pretty clear to me that she wanted this project to be her legacy and not Nenshi’s
I’m so happy we’re finally going to see some progress soon. I can’t wait to see what they build!
Please let it be like someone on this sub said; shaped like a horse so Dome can be lifted on the top as a saddle

I expressed my delight at this news on the r/Calgary sub and got lambasted by everyone lol
Just please don’t cut corners in the name Of getting it done quickly. We don’t need the roof to Leak a week after opening. Cough cough edmonton cough cough
I’m beyond excited about this. After seeing Edmontons Ice District earlier this year, it was abundantly clear that Calgary has to do something to modernize their building and everything around it
LETS FUCKING GO BABY
Amazing how fast construction starts when the fat cats get everything they asked for
