For sure, the next facility won't be built on either the Calgary Stampede grounds (Saddledome) or the University of Calgary's grounds (McMahon) - this is the only way the Flames can fully control parking and concessions.
That said, I fully don't expect anything coming out of the ground for at least 5 years and I don't think the NEXT proposal is the optimum solution. The rink needs to be near the core but a new football stadium not so much so IMHO..

+Vancouver... And Ottawa is approx the same too... basically half and half on each side in that list.
Regardless, had oil not cratered, it could have been a different story. Unfortunate really.
