Calgary gets a step closer to new arena

The City of Calgary, Province of Alberta, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation and the Calgary Stampede announced on Tuesday they have reached an agreement in principle to build a new arena to replace the aging Scotiabank Saddledome, which has been the home of the NHL's Calgary Flames for four decades.

The total cost of the project, which also calls for a community rink, infrastructure improvements and public transit connections, is projected to be more than $1.2 billion. The Alberta government is expected to contribute $330 million, but that investment will not support the construction or operation of the arena.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the agreement won't get final approval until after the provincial election, scheduled for May 29.
