Well, we're getting the new arena/events centre. It was revealed last Monday and ground has been broken. Supposed to be complete by 2026. Also, the BMO Centre expansion across the street is now complete. Had a chance to check it out during the Stampede two weeks ago. Now the largest convention centre in western Canada. The new arena is being built on the two Stampede parking lots on the north side of the Saddledome. After it's complete the Saddledome will be getting demolished, a Calgary 88 Winter Olympics venue will be history.
In hindsight, its ok that we did not go for the winter games. It does feel like things have gone downhill here in Calgary. More crime. more homelessness. A lot of people don't realize that we aren't the biggest city in North America for population, be we are the biggest for area. The City keeps annexing more land and is building outward in all directions, which is causing issues.
