The city isn't going to be operating the arena, either. However, they are going to be paying out a fat arena management fee to the owners of the team — which means they will be subsidizing the team's losses. Without those teams, those losses go away. Therefore, I strongly suspect it would be cheaper to operate the arena without a hockey team in it.
Am I being clear now? Sorry if I wasn't before.
