    Calgary Event Centre | 36.85m | 11s | CSEC | HOK

    I'm all for a smaller stadium like your Villarreal example. With it's failing demographics I don't really see the CFL getting back to ever needing 40-50K stadiums again any time soon, and a smaller stadium would just have more atmosphere for them and for the Cavalry if they ever want to be...

    It definitely seems like you'd need something that can host a lot of things...Stamps, Cavalry, concerts/festivals, University/Community sports, perhaps track and field, etc....It would probably need to be a compromised jack-of-all-trades type building, but I don't think any one entity can really...

    While I welcome pretty much any new development and aesthetic improvements along it, like McLeod Trail, I just don't see 16th Ave ever being a particularly pleasant place to walk down. No matter what lines the street, at the end of the day it will always be a loud and busy arterial road. The...

    Definitely no threat of anything being built on that parking lot for the next few decades.

    Yeah I was attempting a joke.... I have no idea what tv's/screens they have up there now as I haven't been in the PL seats in years. Not because I'm a fancy boy, but because my old eyes can't track the puck from that high anymore.

    But then where will the motorcycle school setup their cones?

    And yet it would still be an upgrade over watching highlights on a 90s big screen tv, like the poors in the Saddledome currently get.

    Ha, glad I'm not the only one. It's like they made all the renderings with a 200mm lens.

    So what's it gonna take to get some development going on the other side of the tracks?

    Phew, no embarrassing pornhub tab.

    Ive watched this go up from my office window...and had my hopes up that it would be tastefully done. But nope, another project bungled up with too many colors.

    BMO Centre Expansion | 25m | 5s | CMLC

    The water droplet concept located in such an arid environment makes the viewer contemplate their own thirsty existence... prompting them to pony up $15 for a Stampede lemonade.

    Yep, looks great from here in Inglewood.

    I'm just hoping I can get a mortgage in the 4's by the time my house renews in a couple of years.

    Oh, I'm not asking for eye candy... just something that doesn't cause eye vomit. Some of this stuff takes real effort to make look this bad.

    Here's hoping for a miracle resurgence of office demand, before this program ruins even more of our mediocre buildings. I mean expectations for architectural masterpieces were already low, but dayyymn.

    Groceries are expensive enough. Having a more affordable grocery store for nearby residents is a good thing.

    In the press release they mentioned that in the future it could be converted to a parkade.

    Compared to the original Bing Thom design, it definitely doesn't quite have the same wow factor. But I'm not sure that was ever really viable from a cost perspective.

    They probably should've left those bits out of the video, it will just confuse people. Actually that video probably could've been edited down to the last 20-30 seconds.
