I don't know about 'nowhere near'.
Flames are a top 10 revenue team and the Saddledome is not falling apart by any means. It's nearly a decade newer than Rexall and has had millions and millions of dollars worth of renovations added to it.
It's really seems to me like just a lot of rhetoric and posturing. It doesn't make sense to start announcing plans and securing funding until they know what is going on up North. If Edmonton gets an ounce of taxpayer money, the Flames would be stupid not to piggy back onto that gravy train.
