Panthers watch partys are going to go crazy there
Tbh I think the design is kinda boring
Looks like labia. Quite fitting for a ahit team.
its like the coyotes arena situaton but successful
Too bad the team will be shit.
Well , I am a oilers fan just state the obvious But I'm gonna say the cauldron just looks very nice. And I kind of figured it was kind of time for a new place Kind of sad about the saddledome going away though.I hope some of the seats End stuff from the saddle dome.Get auction off to charity Truly sad to see the saddle dome kind of go away It's an icon of calgary But I hope somebody makes Small version of the saddle dome As of a tribute to the stadium
Good design but the name is not the best
Three years to rebuild and draft Gavin McKenna!!!GO FLAMES GO!!!
Make the billionaires pay for it. I don't care what it looks like.
The new arena is great for the city and the team, my only disappointment is Scotia getting the naming rights
Saddle Dome is iconic. New renderings are soulless as usual.
should have just copy the saddledom design .
Will miss the Saddledome in the skyline. The new design uninspired but maybe I was asking too much from Calgary.
Scotia place < rogers place
I hope a hotdog and a beer isn't going to be $87
Im glad Calgary is finally getting a new arena but the design looks like it will age about as well as milk
I am thrilled for the new design! For context on the flame exterior: It's a white/grey metal finish with ribs creating fire shapes. During the night fire is projected onto it.
smaller than the saddle dome? damn i thought it would bring more big artist here rather than deadmonton, guess not
Things I've seen:
1. eight bathrooms on the main concourse (Likely split four for each gender)
2. Three restaurants and and one cafe in the food hall. (1 fancy restaurant, 1 regular sit-down, 1 sports bar)
3. Club/Suite entries separate from the concourse so they aren't taking up space like they do in Rogers Place
3. Saddledome Mask is relocated to the Team Store
5. Community Rink is underground with a plaza over top
The city is growing, but the number of seats is decreasing? Sound very smart. Expect sky-high ticket prices accompanied by crappy beer and food.
The Scotiabank saddle dome will have the same treatment of maple leaf gardens!!! (turned into a shopping center
New arenas are always awesome, good on the city of Calgary for going through with this I was afraid they would move them somewhere else in Canada or the US
Ngl as an oilers fan I’m kinda pissed on how the government is helping pay for it when in Edmonton it was a lot different but I think it looks really good
We drink Slurpee’s in minus 40. 😉
Name: 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Design: 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
0/10 will NEVER go to the stupid bank pLaCe.
I like the cauldron or the forge
Ticket prices are about to go up because of the lowered capacity. I think they did you dirty in that aspect.
looks nice
Awesome looking building. I've only ever been to 4 games there, but each one is great memory. The name is a disappointment, but an expected one. Calgary won't be the same without the Saddledome, but a new building is sorely needed.
We will now officially call this arena the "FirePLACE". Because screw these corporations for trying to make us call these arenas by their coporate names.
We can call the new arena the ring of fire
The Cauldron sounds sweet
Not a fan of the new arena. The Dome has character, this looks like every generic modern corporate building. Plus the Dome getting torn down, not a fan for sure.
Edmontonian and Oiler fan here, glad to see Calgary finally get a new arena after many missteps. It will help Edmonton as well as more entertainers will want to venture up here as there are 2 large arenas that can accommodate todays big concert needs. When I was working, my office was close to Rogers Place and it was fun to see it being built.
"New design" and shows an arena from 1962
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new coach hiring for the CBJ. Columbus may not be the biggest market but seeing more blue jackets content would be really cool
Great for play off games. The entire city can get together outside.
