No you don't have to be 100% behind it. We have yet to hear about how much the Flames plan on paying and what will be expected from taxpayers. It's all speculation at this point. However if/when it comes to fruition please accept it and even embrace that the city will be getting one or two stadiums that will be able to rival any other in Canada in and the US. This is actually not a bad thing in the big picture. You have a right to an opinion but you can also accept that your view isn't shared by anyone. These things will get done regardless of how many people like you stant up to it as there were people in Winnipeg, Regina, Ottawa, Hamilton that shared your views but it's getting done. I don't necessarily agree myself how these things happen but I've given up wasting my time opposing such things as life is short and if it's going to happen may as well embrace the positives and what I can do to get my taxpayer money out of it and I will when I take my sons to as many games as I can.
