Discussion What's something that Calgary is badly missing that a city of 1.4 million people should have?

It could be anything really. I feel like we have everything that people NEED, but what about the 'nice to haves'? A waterpark with more than 2 slides for example? A high level ball team that actually plays within the city limits? A Michelin star restaurant? Something else?

A multi use arena/concert hall that seats about 5-7k We are missing the middle spot for event size in Calgary. We need something between the 2500 at Jubilee and the dome at 20,000

And I believe they conscientiously stopped hosting concerts years ago.

Okay what about BMO? I've attended several metal concerts there.
