Not really. They don't want heat radiating from it.

No experienced retailer/restauranteur would ever be interested in the blank wall location. No parking (unless you pay $17.00 and are willing to fight event traffic).

With all the construction they needed the ability to get high vehicles in and out of the park.

Stampede Trail redevelopment starts soon.

Horse racing was not profitable. CS wanted out years before they finally pulled the plug.

Curious, are you looking at the Stampede from the context of a 10-day fair or a year-round organization with deep roots in the community? No doubt there are summer "fairs" that are bigger and better, but name ONE other organization in the WORLD (<<-- yes, I said the world) that has a...

The phase two hotels will be NW of the BMO Centre and the phase three hotels will be near the 17th Ave extension, so neither will be part of the midway area. Additionally, once the Saddledome goes down, the midway footprint will be a lot different - and much better with the addition of park-like...

You are correct. They are re-evaluating the size of the hotel. It will likely be bigger.

Yep, but the old bunker isn't going anywhere. It really is a functional building... albeit an ugly functional building.

Why do I need "self-control"? So I can sit at home watching my neighbor's Netflix all night? So I can find the perfect Groupon to take my wife out for an anniversary dinner? Avoiding live events doesn't give you "self-control". All it means is you have other priorities, which is fine.

The "Great Lawn" on the South side will bring some much needed green space and trees to the park. It is going to be amazing.

No, that location has been identified as a possible third hotel, if necessary. The second hotel (the 600 room one mentioned above) is slated for Lot 11 (North of the BMO Centre and West of the Casino). I have not heard the 600 room property is back in play. It was "just about" announced when...

I've always thought the Remington land (between the train tracks and 11th Ave, and West of the bus barns) would be a great place for NEXT. You could build a walkway over the tracks making the stadium/arena (and the Stampede) pedestrian accessible from 9th Ave. It would also allow parking on the...

I've heard they are getting a larger footprint in Vic Park. We'll soon find out.

It is going ahead, and no, it is not tied to the Event Centre. 220 rooms. Not nearly enough for the area though.

27 booked so far…. they are not all as large as Rotary of course but Calgary is in a different league than Halifax. BMO will be Canada’s second tier one space. Calgary‘s biggest challenge is accommodation.

Yes, but you don’t try to force a business into a space that cannot support it. Stampede Trail is being purpose built for restaurants and entertainment, so build there. Admittedly, I have no idea if Stampede Trail is going to succeed or not, but I can guarantee you 100% that a restaurant (or any...

Actually, the BMO Centre is currently a consumer trade show space - targeting local attendees visiting the Home and Garden show or World of Wheels. The new BMO is a tier one convention centre - targeting international visitors (such as the 30,000 Rotarians from around the world who are expected...

Would you invest YOUR money in a restaurant or business located in the “perimeter of the building”? Try walking into your bank with that business plan and see what they say.
