So much shit has to be replaced at the dome. Ice making machine, all electrical, HEROIN BEER LINES, video rooms, jumbotron rooms. All this stuff isn't exactly off the shelf. Plus there's probably going to be huge labour shortages to get the work done in the upcoming months.

It's not a matter of taking a pressure washer and power washing the place out and that's it haha.

For the beer lines, it'll only add the the taste and the effect that "beer" has, so no worry there.

Worst case scenario. Home games played in Edmonton.

They could always play their games in Saskatoon, 15,000 seats and all would be sold out for sure. They could even market a special edition uniform. The flood can only improve the "taste" of that fine Bud water.

agreed, there is a lot of work there, but it is not a "Tear down and rebuild"

and the controllers for the jumbotron and such ARE pretty much off the shelf. it is all computer and software controls.

Yes, there is a lot of work, but the Saddledome, Flames organization, and whatever insurance pays them, is going to have a lot of bank behind them to get it cleaned and fixed.

You would be nuts if you thought they would not be going ballistic getting it ready as each home game is worth so much in revenue to a bunch of different businesses.

They will have a crew of a couple hundred people in there doing everything from electrical, to cleaning, to replacing to whatever. Beer lines will not need replacing, just a good cleaning. Electrical is going to be the biggest concern, and replacing damaged equipment. IE: zambonies, and redoing locker rooms, medical facilities, offices etc.

bet me a coffee Rage!

2010 Nashville flood taken the day after, a country band was practicing just before the flood. How does this compare to the Saddledome?:

"Organic Bud Light!"

They are not fucking around. They just had a meeting with all staff to determine exactly what needs to be re-ordered, so they can get on it immediately, training equipment, medical equipment, gear, etc. The only thing that may be salvageable are the sticks.

I think they will have it ready by regular season too.

Stampede WILL happen, maybe not at full capacity but it will happen. I personally doubt the events in the dome will go on but to me those aren't what makes the stampede the stampede.

As for hockey, my bet is the dome will be up and running by the start of the season.

I'll take that bet Spikers...

I think that because the Flames own the Stamps now, there could be a lot of concerts moved to McMahon. Summer outdoor concerts could be pretty profitable if they can pull it off. Would be a lot more "floor space" too!

The Flames might own the Stamps, but McMahon is still owned by the U of C.

someone, bet me a large coffee at Timmie's!

I.
DARE.
YOU.

I'll take that bet Chris! lol! Not because I don't think it is impossible, but just that it could be close, so we might as well make it interesting...

Hopefully they do it fast

I was just about to purchase some scalped tickets to Bruno Mars, now i'm just going to wait a couple days before the show first to see if its cancelled.

lol it would suck to get face value tickets of $100 paying $225 and getting the refund of the face value instead....

thats probably going to scar a few children

There should be a "furry snuff" warning for this page.

The tongue removed from the mouth suggests MacT was somehow involved.

Hey Chris I'll take that bet. Lets put lunch on it. Need to set a date. Ready for a hockey game by Oct 5th? Either Fames or Hitmen.
A sit down pub lunch, two beer minimum :lol:

Apparently the CPS have listed MacT as a "person of interest" in the case.

And yeah, that's definitely going to scar some kids for some time!
