Opinion: Calgary needn't take a back seat to any city yyc yyccc
Baidoo is correct that Denver has LRT service to its airport, a larger LRT system than Calgary’s and a regional rail system that includes their heritage Union Station. Too bad he fails to mention Calgary had an LRT system before Denver and its LRT is modelled after Calgary’s park-and-ride system. And, he could have noted Calgary Transit weekday LRT ridership in 2022 was 229,000, more than Denver’s ridership, even with a smaller population and less kilometres of track.
Denver’s LoDo neighbourhood benefits from Coors Field , home to the Colorado Rockies baseball team, which means 81 home games from April to October. The stadium, which opened in 1995, has been the catalyst for LoDo’s vibrant visible outdoor entertainment scene. Calgary will never be able to match this kind of development, even with its new arena, which will host only 41 home NHL games from October to April, when it is too cold in Calgary for a vibrant outdoor entertainment scene.
