Hell of a lot better than an old boarded up casino!
Either you are too young or too oblivious to the pro Calgary-Klein era that saw one child receiving everything while the rest went hungry; it was better than seeing people jamming needles into their arms like an art display. Bill Smith didn't ask Klein to give Calgary everything while Edmonton took a stab to the heart during our 90s recession.That was a remnant of the Bill Smith regime. At that time they were kicking around plans for a Superstore on what is now Rogers Place.
Hard to say who was playing but perhaps it was one of the lesser-known acts. Some photos from when Armin was playing had the crowd looking much, much larger, which makes sense since he's a huge name in the EDM scene.That Bomfest crowd looks small. I'm not really (at all) into the electronic music scene but I thought this was a fairly big event that drew ~10,000 based on pics I've seen from past years.
This is hot intel. Any more details? Like a stadium for soccer/football that could be covered or open roof?I just did a 10-minute Angus Reid survey looking for my feedback about a major, permanent indoor/outdoor venue on the site. The focus was primarily on my opinions since this would "require" significant public dollars.
I'm certain this is what the conversations between the provincial government, municipality and Oilers group are about.
(excuse me for not grabbing images of the renders - picture the fan park infrastructure that is already there, plus a large indoor venue)
