Nickname for the new arena – The Fire Pit.
There's only two companies left in the entire country with enough capital to sponsor arena names
Not sure what the issue is, Columbus was absolutely the best head coach opening still available. No doubt about it folks
You should actually do a breakdown on why this arena deal is the worst arena deal in the NHL for taxpayers.
I suggest that everyone start calling Utah, the ‘Utah Things’. It’s what they deserve for ridiculously not having a team name by now.
The First Nations preamble has overtaken City of Calgary business.
As a non flames fan, I am looking forward to a 15 minute walk from transit in -30. Way to go Calgary!
What… they aren't gonna make it look like a Pringles Chip or a Tampex Panty liner? Oh ya and don't forget the highest nose bleed seats that can't see the other end of the ice…
Not a flames fan but the arena looks really good.
NHL games are too expensive for me to justify going so the arena wouldn't matter to me, thank you frugalness!
According to Bret Hart, the Montreal Screwjob was the biggest thing to happen to the city of Calgary
what a waste of tuning in. on and on complaining about speeches, have you ever seen one of these pressers? god damn dude, you've lost my view, brutal video
Can't wait to see a Battle of Alberta there one day
Nope, wont be transformative.
Most people here hate the deal, only consolation is that Edmonton has to pay some of it.
I was on vacation and in vegas and went to one of their playoff games and yeah its so much better than Saddledome, its definite really due for a change and modernized.
And you always hear about concert acts not liking the low roof so whatever.
I think Calgary has been pretty aggressive about promoting tourism, so maybe talking about the native-themed architecture was part of that. They used to buy ad times and space with the Kings. A little weird seeing their ads inside Staples Center and on the broadcasts and the website, but that was when Sutter was coach. So I thought maybe that's why they thought they could make some hay in LA.
Metro coaches vs any other division. Oh it's on. Torts, Evason, Roy, Lavy? As long as they feed Sullivan to Rod the Bod to keep him distracted, I think they can take the Atlantic down. The west? Bednar could put up a fight, but I think the rest would be creampuffs.
Why can’t you include the arena art designs in the video?… takes like 5 minutes…
Hatakka signing is so good
Cap wages discussion?
Flames fan here. Name is boring and crap. Design is better than I expected
Some of these teams did not need public money to build rinks. LA Kings built their own. The rink is being built for real rich men to house their team of real rich players. As a tax payer I have a problem with this. I enjoy hockey but something in me has changed. These guys play in a union. They look after each other and hand out contracts and sometimes these certain players do not deserve these contracts. Markstrom contract was terrible for his term and the full NMC. It was undeserved. M.A. Fleury should have been retired 5 years ago. He's absolutely useless in the playoffs but he keeps getting contracts from his friend Bill Guerin who is handing out millions of dollars to his buddy to the detriment of his team. They need a young goalie will help them out, not cost them a roster spot and cash. You see this is BS. The taxpayer and the fans are getting hosed and there's lots of examples of how this league is selling out its fans everyday.
Scotia Place sounds like one of the light blue cheap Monopoly Properties 👎
Any renderings of the new Flames arena?
THG … I get what you’re doing. 20 minutes talking about them talking about the building. SHOW US THE RENDERINGS!! 😂
It sure was one of the livestreams of all time
Like all mega-corporate forms of architecture, the new Flames arena is ugly and disgusting.
As a Calgarian, the tax money they're taking for this is way too much and rising concession prices that are going to follow is sad and frustrating to say the very least. Personally I'm a huge fan of the saddledome and I wish the new building had more personality in the design because right now it just looks like another boring new building. There is so much nostalgia with the saddledome and I'm sad to see it go, as I would actually prefer it if they could keep it around and maybe turn it into a museum or something because it is such a beautiful landmark and skyline feature.
Well… either Scotia Bank, Bell or Rogers centre
