Without exaggeration, Monday could be one of the most important days in Calgary Flames franchise history. During Monday’s City Council meeting, council will review a tentative deal with the Flames to construct a new arena. If they like it, things could move ahead pretty rapidly.
Considering this process has been dragging on since 2005, that could be great news… (if the deal isn’t awful for taxpayers).
Council is slated to get a closed door update on the tentative deal around 3:45 p.m. – it’s a really packed agenda which seems primed to drag on well into the night, so that time might bump back a bit.
