Slight thaw in arena stalemate in Calgary, Flames agree to talk with committee
CALGARY — The door opened a crack on arena talks in Calgary as the city and the Flames have re-established contact.
A city council committee struck in May to revive the arena issue and Calgary Sport and Entertainment have exchanged cordial, but noncommittal letters.
Committee chair Coun. Jeff Davison sent a letter to CSEC inviting it “to commit to a new round of conversation to assess the topic of Calgary’s new Event Centre together.”
CSEC president Ken King replied “while we would never decline your formal request for a meeting, we do have some concerns based on past practice.
