an arena and construction of an arena that size is going to take out a massive chunk of the Stampede midway. potentially eliminating such attractions on the grounds as Weddickville and the Coca-Cola Stage. why would they even consider building on that section of the grounds?
the only two places i could think of closer to the grounds that doesn't currently have a planned development that would be suitable for an NHL arena would be the Victoria Park bus barn, and if you designed it carefully enough the area between the river and 25 Avenue at Erlton station.
