How the event centre sparks hope of new 'anchor' for city's culture and entertainment district yyc yyccc abpoli Column by ChrisVarcoe:
The Stampede will transfer land to the city that will pave the way for the centre, and the broader entertainment district surrounding it.
“Most of the modern arenas and stadiums, they really focus on creating an entertainment experience surrounding the stadium or the arena, and so this one creates additional opportunity for that — whether it’s restaurants or retail — connected with the complex,” Cowley said. “The greatest feature of what we are doing is that this type of investment invites other investments,” said Mayor Jyoti Gondek.
Wilson sees the new arena to replace the Saddledome drawing more event and concerts to the city, attracting additional business to local restaurants and hotels., built at a cost of $100 million, and the saga to replace it has been playing out for years.
