Bettman pushing for new arena in Calgary
CALGARY (CP) - NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has told Calgary to get moving on a new arena for the Flames, but Mayor Naheed Nenshi says the city will not be hurried into a multimillion-dollar project. Bettman told the city’s business community at a chamber of commerce event Monday there should be more urgency to get the project underway, particularly from city council. The 20,000-seat arena and 30,000-seat football stadium, part of the proposed CalgaryNEXT project, will cost an estimated $890 million.
