The new Calgary Flames home, as previously discussed, will be two blocks from where the Saddledome currently sits.
As previously reported by Valji, the new arena will cost approximately $800 million and is expected to be ready for the 2026-27 season. The arena agreement also includes a 35-year commitment from Flames ownership to keep the team in Calgary.
The project also includes a community rink, indoor and outdoor gathering places, restaurants and shopping amenities.
The Saddledome, which has been the home of the Flames since 1983, will be demolished.
