City committee shows off arena renderings

Calgary City Council’s Event Centre Assessment Committee has been meeting since June. Their mandate is to structure the ongoing discussions between the City and the Calgary Flames related to a potential new home for the hockey club.

There’s obviously no arena deal in place yet, but seeing what the building could look like is likely to get fans’ imaginations running a little bit about what could be.
