hf101 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 News out of Calgary....... where reports are now saying the Saddledome is flooded up to the 10th row and the locker rooms are submerged. There are reports the Jumbotron may also be destroyedhttp://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=425999 Quote
jammer2 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 @hf101 Link not working....it does suck, but really a job for the insurance companies at this point. Feel bad for the people living around there with no insurance that will lose everything....saw some of them on the news last night.....heartbreaking...really. Quote
hf101 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 @jammer2Yeah, looks bad. The link is fixed. Quote
sarsippius Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Isn't the team politicking for a new arena, I smell a conspiracy!!!! Quote
AJgoal Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Now up to the 14th row. http://nhl.si.com/2013/06/21/saddledome-is-under-water-as-calgary-battles-floods/ Quote
jammer2 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 @hf101 You would think it will cost millions in electrical repairs alone. Quote
hf101 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 @hf101 You would think it will cost millions in electrical repairs alone.For sure. Will it be worth the money to repair vs invest in a new arena? Quote
yave1964 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 All joking aside, (sorry) this really is a tragedy for the city of Calgary. Hoping for all the best for the people of Calgary and the province of Alberta as they recover, hoping they get no more rain.... Quote
yave1964 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I heard them say the arena would be ready by the start of the season but IDK. If not where do they play? There is no other large western Canada arena that could take them in for one year like Memphis did for the Titans while a stadium was being built in Nashville years ago. I really don't know where they would play. Seattle? Quote
sarsippius Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I want Seattle to steal the Coyotes, not the Flames! All right I actually feel like a schmuck for joking about it, forget hockey, the articles I've read on this paint a horrifying picture. Hope the region recovers as quickly as possible 1 Quote
jammer2 Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Would never happen, but the best case for the NHL would be for Edmonton or Vancouver to make their arena's available to the Flames for half a year or so. All the teams coming in could play the oilers and flames back to back without any travel and the Flames fan base would have at least limited access to their team. Plus, the Flames games might no be sell outs, but they still make a killing on parking/concessions for events that otherwise would not have been there. Quote
mattcoco35 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Yep its ready to go. Unbelievable! They were skating on it around the 14th of Sept. Quote
TretiakCCCP20 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Wow, that arena looks like as big of a mess as the actual team is... Quote
