from the Calgary Flames,

The City of Calgary, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation and the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Limited confirmed today that they have agreed to fundamental terms and conditions for the development and construction of a new public sports and entertainment event centre.

The agreement lays out the terms of a partnership that will see the creation of facilities to serve as public gathering places for significant events, attract world-leading performing artists and serve as a new home to the Calgary Flames, Hitmen and Roughnecks. In addition to the new event centre, the vision for the area adjacent to the facility includes a purpose-built outdoor festival space and infrastructure enhancements to Stampede Park, all of which will serve as a catalyst for the development of Calgary's Culture and Entertainment District.
