New home for the Calgary Flames officially in the works!

After nearly 40 years of playing in the Scotiabank Saddledome, the Calgary Flames will soon have a brand new home to call their own to replace the aging facility.

Minutes ago, it was announced that a deal has officially been struck to replace the venue that opened in 1983. The new complex, which is expected to be complete in 2027, will be getting almost $900 million in government funding. 

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had this to say: 

“Let me tell you, Calgary isn’t Calgary without the Flames and Alberta isn’t Alberta without the Battle of Alberta.”
