According to a report in the Calgary Sun on September 4th 2009, Mayor Dave Bronconnier showed very little support for the Calgary Flames’ proposed idea for a new arena.
The team has two potential sites in mind but at this point all remains a pipedream. Though discussions are not quite complete yet, the Mayor went on to say;
"We have made provisions on the Stampede Park for a future arena and if our tenant moves forward and wishes to build it, then we need more financial discussions as to who pays for it."
With the Flames’ dream of building a state of the art facility still in the initial stage of negotiation all is not lost and the hope remains that Flames fans will have a brand new arena sometime in the next few years to call home.

I think this is a great local piece of journalism to review as it catches the passion of many people in the city (hockey) and allows for political discourse.
