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.
