How Calgary’s Saddledome stacks up

The Calgary Flames’ arena situation is up in the air after team president Ken King announced this week the club is pulling out of talks with the city. King says the owners feel they can’t make a deal on a new rink because negotiations have been unproductive.

“We remain ready to negotiate in good faith,” Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi said Wednesday. “Council understands the importance of the Flames to this city, council understands the importance of having the Flames downtown.”

The 34-year-old Scotiabank Saddledome is the second-oldest arena in the NHL.
