Seems like a lot of conclusions and mudslinging from a blog based on a source that admits that "Very little Canadian sports economic research has been conducted, Matheson said, in part because many researchers in this field are south of the border, and because of the ease of access to data there."
I don't support the concept of 100% public funded arenas, but I don't support the concept of 0% public funded arenas either. Some kind of partnership between the arena owners and level(s) of government makes sense to me. I don't know what the exact numbers should be though.
