New Downtown Calgary Arena

I thought I would start a thread to discuss the possibilities. I know we're probably a few years away from even seeing any concepts, but I think it woudl be good to discuss it.

What would you like to see?

Where would you locate it?

How much Capacity?

Personally I would love to see it either in the east village, or along Macleod trail and 17th. I think its crucial to create an inviting pedestrian atmosphere around it complete with some pubs, restaurants, shops etc. I also think they they should increase the capacity. Unfortunatly they're probably going to make it around 18000 seats, with more luxury boxes. I would love to see around 25000 seats, but only 20000 of them being of the "cushioned type" and a 3rd bowl of nosebleeds composed of a bleacher type system where seats are cheap, and the masses could go and enjoy a game.
