Could be.
But the Bell Centre has the 21,000 capacity, and it only cost $270 million to build. And that is in 'kick-back' Quebec.
I have no idea what the total cost of the new building in Calgary will be. For all we know you're are entirely correct.
I have a hard time believing that it couldn't pay off though. From what I recall, ticket demand has been pretty high in Calgary since the lockout in 2005.
