Trust me, the Jets will be just fine even if no one shows up for their games.

Bull####. These guys become billionaires because they recognize a losing proposition and dump it. If the Jets can remain self-sufficient he will do what he did to become a billionaire; find another sucker to buy them or move them to another city (hello Quebec City!).

Winnipeg is not a great place but their sports rink, ball park and stadium are much better than Calgary's situation.
Calgary always wants to be considered a world class city but when we have people whine about an expensive footbridge it sure makes getting the bigger ticket items like new arenas look a long ways off.

Yeah, the Flames can seat an extra 4,000 people per game, and do, and they are the ones in dire need of a new building?? Get serious. The Jets' average ticket price is a whopping $276.69 per seat, and that's
down 20% from last year. Average price for the Flames is 262.10,
up 25% from the previous year. The difference in revenues, just in seat sales, is almost $43M a season. Who needs the new rink?
