Ultimately the Calgary Flames are looking to coordinate and consolidate the back office functions and marketing departments. Also, there are some public rumors the flames were offered the share rights as one Stampeders owner wanted to sell and there were no other buyers.

Obviously, it wouldn't be one venue for both sports. It would be a sportsplex that would contain a NHL arena and a separate CFL/Soccer pitch.
