Don't think you can with CSEC at the table. CMLC can do the area around the arena, it's more important anyway.

For sure. Was more of a rhetorical question or wish.

Progress awfully quiet on this one..

Agree. I was thinking the same thing. I thought with all the Flames games there would be people snapping pictures on game days. Is there any visible sign of construction yet? Also wondering if the demolished the Coke Stage which was supposed to happen on Wednesday.

was by there this morning. the only spot with noticable changes is around the station. concrete is being poured. stage is still up. just doesnt lend itself to much of a photo update.

Not much to see yet, the webcam here is back online:

Unlike the arena, there isn't any below-grade floor area. However, the footprint of this thing is gigantic. There are undoubtedly hundreds of footings to pour, and the entire grade level slab. The construction schedule indicates it's made from steel, so it'll pick up.

We won't see anything meaningful until substructure completion in Feb 2022, but only 8 months after it will be structurally complete. Buckle up.

As a bonus that camera also gives real time feed of which lights on Telus sky's Southside are burnt out.

First steal is up at the BMO. It is quite visible from Macleod Trail but for those that don't want to brave the cold to check it out, the Stampede made a nice little video about it.

9,000 tonnes of steel out of shops in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. The building will be taller than both the Saddledome and the Grandstand. The elevators are large enough for a full sized pickup truck to be raised up to any level of the building and the design loads are several times normal for a flex of uses.

Wow. I never realized just how massive this will be. This will building will in some ways define the south eastern portion of the downtown skyline

I can’t wait to drive guests down Macleod and have them say “Oh, your new arena looks so cool!” “Ya, um…about that…”

It'll replace the Saddledome when it's gone in shots of downtown taken from Scotsman's Hill.

First steel with the demolished Coke stage in the foreground plus first exterior wall segments being installed.
