Been going on for years - it’s obvious improvements to McMahon (and the fieldhouse) are not high on the City priority list. https://www.calgary.ca/realestate/foothills-mcmahon.html

^Exactly. The City paying all up front is not a good idea. Perhaps some type of threshold increments would work.

^That would be wonderful but who is funding it ? I’ve always hoped with the number of really wealthy people in this city at least a few of them were CFL fans (& proud Calgarians) that they would step up and fund a new stadium.

That would be so great.

Thanks for posting that link.

This is my understanding as well - at least when it was initially constructed. The strategy may have changed since. Chumir is classified as an “office” use (think professional building) not as a “care” facility (think hospital). No overnight stays are permitted at Chumir.

This really gave me a good laugh - thank-you Chinook Arch 🤣

In short, I don’t like it. If the placeholders shown for the plaza and rejuvenation of the existing building are any indication of what will be done, I say leave it as it is (at least on the outside). The new building is meh for me - the massing is unpleasant to my eye and, as someone else said...

But the City has already committed funding (over $100M). They are hoping for the Province and Feds to kick in. Personally, I agree that an indoor 400m track capable of hosting certified track events during the winter would be more of a draw, but I’m certainly not an expert or part of the track...

It really is - great video

^Ahhhh - talk about a trip down memory lane for me. Thanks for posting that.

Hmmmm - different strokes for different folks I guess but I find that proposal rather mundane.

Very cool - thanks for sharing, and thanks to all the construction personnel.

Yeah Baby!! Lots of good tidbits on pending projects here the last couple of days
