The city, and the province reap benefits in many ways from an Arena facility, and therefore should be making a contribution to the creation of such a facility when it's needed. I'm not close enough to know exactly what amount is the right amount for the City and the Province to contribute versus what the private owners put in, but they definetely benefit from it, so it needs to be something.
