"Where will the Calgary Flames' new arena be located?" That is the million dollar question and further fuel was thrown on the speculation fire that the new facility could be built at 1720 Bow Trail SW, on the western edge of Downtown. The City of Calgary has confirmed it has purchased four hectares of land at GSL for some $36.9 million. With that, the city now owns more than 12 hectares in the area, including the Greyhound site, which is close to two hectares.
However the city is also pondering creating a "West Village" in that region, so the land purchase could simply be a part of that development, which would be similar to the successful East Village concept on the eastern side of downtown. But the land would be a good home for the Flames' new arena
