Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

They probably don't want to have to cover the track. Since there is no horse racing there anymore, what do they do with the track outside of Stampede? They have done the winter rallycross thing there in the winter to some success, that still works on dirt.

Nope, just roll the stage in from the grandstand show. Don't need to use the infield seats.

I think someone else already mentioned this, but events like Monster Jam are held there.

Monster jam would be maybe 1or 2 weekends of the year. What I'm getting at is that the dirt would be used a minority of the time, so maybe they just make the Stamps do a road trip during Stampede, then keep the track dirt free the rest of the time. That would leave more flexibility for events that use the grandstand.

Not sure if this warrants its own thread, but there is a new medical building being proposed at the Foothills Medical Campus. The Radio-Pharmaceutical Facility.

So much more boring than the original concept:

I don't understand why this facility is so small. Is it on a separate power grid, or are the services offered there more educational in nature?

It’s a manufacturing facility that makes radioactive material for nuclear medicine and imaging, no patients will actually go there. I was surprised it wasn’t built into the cancer centre, since the increased cancer treatment capacity would’ve required this type of facility. It’s pretty common for large hospitals to have a facility nearby, since these materials break down relatively quickly.

Why bother having them play away during Monster Jam? They aren't much of a football team. They may preform better on the track

I'll believe it when I see it, so many FCC 2 proposals have come and gone over the years...

^Yep - so sad. One day something will be built on that foundation …. I hope.
