I agree, there is a ton of residential / other mixed use potential for that prime bus barn location. I think the combined Saddledome / Saddledome staff parking plot would be the best location option for a new sports stadium, and leave the grandstand as is. You would get both sporting venues side...

Not saying there couldn't, I just wonder what the Stampede's stance on that would be, and they would need to coordinate the available parking with other events going on at the grounds. If they open that up to have game day tailgating as liberal as the current situation at McMahon, and can...

Interesting. Very Interesting. I'm a life long Stamps season ticket holder and the one thing that worries me in the move to Stampede ground scenario is what happens with the tailgating - which is a huge part of the Stampeders culture. Other than that, it makes sense to consolidate all the sports...

ha...didn't notice the elephant, must not have been up or've made an impression. The building was nice though!

Was down there yesterday, looks pretty good in person!

Massively disappointing. The other facing sides of this one, ok, I get it to go spandrel save money - don't mess around with this NE corner though!

Yowza! Go Truman. Would love to see a new stadium where the Saddledome is now down the road to truly make this our all in one entertainment district.

Love it. cSPACE MardaLoop is fantastic. If they can do more of the same with those great historic buildings downtown, this is a big win.

Agreed. That damn Hyatt roof though....the (small) fly in the ointment of a nice skyline shot for me, my eyes are always immediately drawn to it. Now that the Glenbow is being looked after, and there are plans in the works for Arts Commons, the Hyatt is tops on my list downtown for a good re-clad.

My god. Infuriating.

I know its wishful thinking but a modern 30k capacity stadium on the Saddledome site would be awesome to replace McMahon if they could make it work with that space, have the Stamps and the Cavs (down the road) play there & truly make this the sports and entertainment district. They would need to...

Is anyone aware of any details on the seating color or seating pattern design? A sporadic pattern with different tones of red would be my preference, or I hope they just do solid red at the very least.

Yep, agreed. Was looking at that monstrosity heading out of town the other day. So incredibly bad.

Finally! #1 on my list of urban blank sheets in dire need of a mural.

Massive, and very blah. The beige bottom looks pretty bad in person, and colored cladding looks cheap for the top part. She wont age well. ...glad to have it though!
