Scotiabank Saddledome Flooded

UPDATE: The Calgary Flames President Ken King has been in the dome and has debunked the stories stating that the scoreboard was lowered at the time of the flood. It is above the flood level, however the effects of the humidity on the big board will be a mystery for some time.

According to Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun, The water has subsided somewhat from row ten of seats to row 8. There will be a press conference announced soon. He goes on to say that officials did their best to grab as many photos and other things from the dressing room before the flooding hit the Dome.
