To add, the Flames' deal also makes them responsible for building maintenance and upgrades. The power ring and new jumbotron, for example, were paid for by the Flames, not the city or the Saddledome Foundation.

Thanks. I'm curious, where did you get this info from? I'm assuming you didn't google it a few minutes ago, it's just something that I've always seen as the assumed reality without really knowing where that was coming from. Not living in Calgary I often miss things like this.
