I don't know a thing about the coordination of all the arena sports. One would have to evaluate if the Saddledome and Maxbell could handle the 2 hockey tournaments, 2 curling tournaments and 5 figure skating events that occur in the two week period.
Ferrying athletes, media and operations people back and forth between Edmonton and Calgary would be a pain.
Also note, Father David Bauer Olympic Arena has a capacity of 2000.
