The Edmonton Oilers would absolutely benefit from the proposed $900m arena project, recently proposed for the City of Calgary. The effort probably deserves your support, even thought it is (*kicks at dirt & spits*)…Calgary. But your tax dollars? Hmmm. That may be something else altogether.
The project includes a 20,000 seat arena, a 30,000 seat football stadium, and a field house, all tucked nicely & neatly along the banks of the Bow River, west of Calgary’s downtown. The fact that The Saddledome is fast becoming antiquated makes people like me feel their age, no doubt. It seems just like yesterday that they built that barn.
