CALGARY -- An Eagles concert, not a hockey game, will be the first event in the Scotiabank Saddledome after floodwaters destroyed its lower levels in June. Dak Prescott Jersey . The rock bands back-to-back shows on Sept. 11 and 12 will serve as test events for the Saddledome, which is looking much like it did prior to June 21 when the Elbow River gushed into the event level, rose to the eighth row of seats and submerged the Calgary Flames dressing room. "Were back in business," Ken King, president of Calgary Flames and Entertainment Corporation, declared Thursday. About 2,500 seats have been replaced and a new ice plant was installed. Ice is back on the arena surface and the glass along the boards has been erected, albeit still swathed in packing paper. The work isnt finished. The event level was full of ladders and crews, but the arena received its occupancy permit last Friday, according to King. "Every piece of equipment below decks here is brand new," he said. "Every piece of cutlery. We havent turned a stove on. We havent cooked a hamburger or made a piece of toast, but everything is in place to go. Well have a trial run pretty quick." NHL main camps open Sept. 11. The Flames will hold training camp in a different arena, but King expects their first exhibition game Sept. 14 to be played at the Saddledome. The event level is the lowest floor in the building and the nerve centre for concerts and hockey games. Kitchens, hockey jerseys and equipment, staff uniforms and the electronics that operate the massive scoreboard are just a few examples of what the 30-year-old Saddledome lost in the floods that swept through southern Alberta. The arena is an important concert venue for the annual Calgary Stampede. KISS, the Dixie Chicks and Tim McGraw were forced to reschedule and the Carly Rae Jepson concert was cancelled. But King calls the Saddledomes restoration "miraculous." "Seventy-five days ago we would have been standing under nine feet of water," Robert Blanchard, director of building operations for the Saddledome, said from the event level. "In that time, its probably been about 650,000 man hours put into the building to get it back to where it is. Thats about a six-month project we compressed into two months." There was no time for fancy upgrades and contractors had to work quickly without blueprints, Blanchard said. "Were doing all this reconstruction based on photos and peoples memories because our drawing room was down on this level and all the drawings are probably floating around Medicine Hat right now," he said. King did not put a price tag on the arenas recovery. "We havent talked about that much," he said. "Its a big number in terms of business interruption and property loss." Deion Sanders Jersey . -- Center Max Unger and tight end Zach Miller are both probable for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday against the New York Giants and Percy Harvins recovery continues to be slow. Jaylon Smith Jersey . The 24-year-old right winger has one assist in nine games this season with the Sabres. In his career, he has three goals and six assists in 43 NHL games. http://www.thecowboysfansmall.com/c-16-cowboys-darren-mcfadden-jersey.aspx . Players suspended during the season for a performance-enhancing drug violation will not be eligible for that years post-season. In addition, discipline will increase from 50 games to 80 for a first testing violation and from 100 games to a season-long 162 for a second. A third violation remains a lifetime ban.FIVE QUICK NBA THOUGHTS 1. TORONTO RAPTORS: They lose on the road by five to Miami and by seven at Indiana. It just has a different feel to it. Even though they lost, Im impressed with their improvement and the way theyre playing right now. Good role definition and team play are evident. Have they arrived? No, far from it, but they are headed in the proper direction. Its a lot more difficult to play when folks have expectations for you and how you handle them on a daily basis. If they can become consistent in their production then theyll be fine. Greivis Vasquez has to start playing a lot better and with consistency off the bench for them. Hes the guy that can make a difference for them with the second unit if he can pick it up a few notches. 2. ROY HIBBERT (Pacers): We talk so much about his defence, shot blocking and rebounding that at times we lose sight of how much hes improved. Hes always been a nifty passer back to his days at Georgetown but the thing thats really impressed me has been his steady growth as a post player. His footwork is exceptional and he can score with either hand in the lane and is fluid with his skills. He gets great position in the lane and his confidence as an offensive player is at an all-time high. 3. LUOL DENG TRADE: I like this trade for the Bulls. Theyre not going anywhere with the loss of Derrick Rose and had to move on from this group. Deng was a terrific player for them yet was going to cost too much for them in the free-agent sweepstakes. They save close to $20 million with this transaction andd it was time to move on and begin the process of a new look in Chicago. Bob Lilly Jersey. This is the business side of sports that isnt pleasant when you see a wonderful guy who was a very good player get moved for economics yet in this cold-hearted business, it was the right thing to do long term for them. 4. KEVIN DURANT (Thunder): I know his team lost on Tuesday night to the Jazz and that isnt a pleasant thing but how can you not be impressed with the fact that he drops 48 points in the game? Its been challenging for him and his team without Russell Westbrook yet we get to see just how special Durant is when he has to do even more. Hes truly the second-best player in the game today and his offensive skill set is off the charts. Truly a joy to watch. Great competitor and a winner. 5. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS: Theyre on a roll with 10 wins in a row and Im thrilled for their loyal/rabid fan base. If I could put a finger on it the one guy who makes such a huge difference on their team is Andre Iguodala. He gives them a perimeter defensive stopper, hes an unselfish player who gladly gives the ball up to teammates and has wonderful versatility in his game. He plays the game the right way and has really allowed the other aspects of this roster to settle into their roles. Coach Mark Jackson has a guy that he can trust to do all the little things that win games for you and do it at a high level. I guess the word Glue Guy comes to mind when I watch their team. Any way you want to say it - hes made a huge difference in their team.
