    New Stadium Discussion Thread

    This is all fair, but I was more or less using my line of thinking for ways the Stampede could otherwise use the practice field space to activate it beyond a sports field. Those other uses wouldn't be primary uses but other ways the Stampede could take advantage of having something like that...

    New Stadium Discussion Thread

    What are the dozens of empty fields (soccer/football) in the beltline and downtown? The owners of those parking lots have no interest in developing a sports field, the Stampede could. And they wouldn't use the field all day during the season. Practice is in the late morning/early afternoon. It...

    Conversion on 11th. If you click on the quoted part of the message you'll see it.

    Coming along nicely.

    Rumours & Speculation

    Does this require any remediation? The view of the city and mountains from here is unmatched! I've long dreamed of the fieldhouse and subsequent retail and residential development going there.

    Calgary Flames Official Thread

    Perfectly awful start to January. There's a lot of calendar days between now and the trade deadline, 56. But not that many games for the flames because of the Olympics, 10. So there's little to no opportunity for them to put themselves in a position to hold on to their players. The insiders...

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    As office empty out in preparation for the long list of conversions wouldn't we expect the vacancy rate to jump? That square footage doesn't come off the vacancy unit it is back on the market as residential, correct?

    New Stadium Discussion Thread

    The new field dimensions maybe the field even shorter. I think, if you're renovating the Grandstand, you'd remove the end seats, as they're not very good seats for the rodeo. You could actually use this as an opportunity to bring the rodeo right up to the Grandstand, as right now with the stage...

    Water main break discussion

    If it isn't a rainy day now, then it will never be a rainy day. Especially if what you build, employs people, improves the life of people, and makes living here generally better. The issue is as soon as the City starts to single-handedly fund things that should also be contributed to by other...

    Calgary Transit

    A spur run to the Calgary Tower platform is a great idea. I'm sure Aspen, with the added foot traffic, would be willing to put in a little money to refurbish the platform and whatever is left of the station.

    That is not to scale.

    Water main break discussion

    I don't know what else council can do to be dealing with the current pipe issue. I am happy they prioritized this and let the people who can do the work to get the pipe back up and running, get the pipe back up running. If people are not already using as little water as possible, they're not...

    Water main break discussion

    Unless things change for how cities are funded, we have to learn to live without as many nice to haves. Personally, I think things need to change with how cities are funded.

    Water main break discussion

    Most important parts to me. "In the absence of a single accountable executive, decisions were often delayed or deprioritized, compounded by a consensus-driven culture that normalized deferral of action on critical issues.” “Ultimately, the Panel recommends a model wherein the Water Utility...

    Calgary Transit

    They don't cost nothing either and I don't think here is where you need to have four stations (Shawnessy, Somerset, Silverado, and 210th Ave) so close together. Four stations in 6KM seems like too many. Especially with a multi-use pathway running alongside the train tracks. If you'd tell me...
