Isn't this the result of low flow? Or is it not that simple?

Like you, I think GMC Stadium seems like a square peg and round hole looking at it now. But there is something there and the commentor I'm sure didn't say its further along than we think because they wanted a rise out of us. With a bubble, the field could be used 365 days (minus however long it...

I thought this was an own goal for Smith, my read is most people seem to understand the pipe just didn't last as long as it should have. Normally people look for someone to blame and maybe I'm misreading the situation but people seem to have accepted that shit happens.

If history tells me anything, now is the time when the CIA does their work. I assume any influence will be less overt and more covert. People are talking Iraq; I'm thinking more Afghanistan when they were fighting the Russians.

Is this not much worse than the modular building along 6th Ave and 10th Street? I think this is much worse.

They're not wrong to say attendance isn't what it was. And the CFL and CPL are not major leagues that make a lot of money or any money at all. I disagree that means that they're not worth investment. Afterall some kind of outdoor (I'm not for indoor, you can bubble it in the winter if you want)...

I didn't want to reply but felt it was important to point out that what you said is not true. CFL attendance was up last season compared to the one before (barely but it was) and Stampeders attendance increased throughout the season as the team's improvement on the field brought some fans...

I want to be a little optimistic here... Seeing Rubio's media tour on Sunday, I think they (as in the people in the government/administration outside of Trump's direct influence) give him and his people little wins and things to talk about on social media but if push came to shove would not...

Just an FYI: This was the quote about GMC Stadium... It is from the Stampede Hotel thread.

I have to respectfully disagree with this point. Venue matters. These are gate driven products/leagues, if what is beyond the gate is what McMahon is you get no one but fans of the product/league. If what is beyond the gate is a modern (not even state of the art), well connected, stadium with...

There's another shoe to drop here. The U of C has a new Dino's Football stadium in the works, meaning, I don't think the U of C wants McMahon anymore. I assume, CSEC and the City of Calgary have no interest in taking over McMahon. I would think the City wouldn't mind a bit more land for their...

Can I ask, I'm a daily bus rider. The app is very easy to use to buy passes. Why can't be people use the app? I do understand some people maybe don't have a phone or cannot/do not want to use a phone or app, there are alternatives for those people. Maybe I'm missing something, but the juice...

I do think this will be something we deal with until it is fully replaced, not just for the next year. I'm not sure how the City can have the confidence to fill the pipe to full capacity again? Something that also needs to be considered are the effects of running Glenmore at full capacity. That...

Using their experience at the Viscount Bennett site, here's hoping they can take on some other former institutional properties and turn them into multi-family, multi-structure developments. Thinking of at least part of Westbrook specifically if not some other TOD.

I assume we see something in the provincial budget for the planning of the first couple lines. I don't expect a big dollar commitment before the next election. I wish there was something for the major projects office to actually consider but we're years away from anything being far enough along...
