Have to agree with you Duck. The inverted bowl could have been awesome, or it could have been a one off that leaves the city with a facility incompatible with the next 30 years of arena show innovation (whatever those are).

Would have been nice to see the inverted bowl done somewhere else first, and if successful we could have been one of the newest to have it, but it's a awfully big risk when you only have one shot at it.

It would be cool if they could build a proof of concept of the inverted bowl in the form of a smaller arena or a theatre of some kind

One thing that might be cool is to have some natural lighting. A small retractable roof, or some large frosted glass panels with retractable blinds.

As long as it doesn't affect the load bearing strength of the roof to much. I still think a semitransparent roof like the one proposed for CalgaryNEXT could be a good idea if it's feasible.

Out of curiosity what are some possible sponsors for the name of the arena? will it still be Scotiabank or something else? If we do get a new sponsor I hope to god its better than Little Caesars.

Hopefully something local like Shaw or Westjet

Maybe they'll call it Calgary Sports and Entertainment Centre or CSEC for short

I thought the naming was already decided as Doug Lacey’s Basement Systems Event Centre.

I saw on the scrolling news banner on Global News this morning that the derelict Kensington Manor building will finally be torn down on April 23/24th. It will be nice to see that eyesore gone, let's hope it doesn't remain a vacant lot for long.

Found this article about restoration work happening at the 6th Avenue firehall and the decision to not renew the lease with Budget rental. Wondering what you guys would like to see the building repurposed as?
