Decision time looms for new Calgary arena and home for NHL’s Flames
CALGARY — A new home for the Calgary Flames will be debated Tuesday in city council chambers.
The city and Flames owner Calgary Sports and Entertainment have a tentative agreement to equally split the cost of a $550-million event centre which would replace the 36-year-old Saddledome.
City councillors can approve the deal, vote it down, or delay by asking for a longer period of analysis and consultation.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi intends to vote in favour of the project, calling it “a good deal for Calgary.”
