Comparing the metro areas of Calgary and Edmonton, I sometimes wonder what Calgary has that is considerably better than what one might find in Edmonton because it's readily apparent that Edmonton is miles ahead in sporting facilities what with Rogers Place, Commonwealth stadium and the Butterdome.
I suppose our LRT network is much more expansive but that could be in part due to the make up of the two metro areas with Calgary essentially being a unicity while Edmonton is not. I guess Calgary does have Canada Olympic Park but even many of the facilities there are now quite outdated and not up to expected international standards any more.
So where has Calgary been spending their monies because they're getting spent somewhere, just not on sporting facilities or so it would appear.
