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?

Yes I am dead serious the Flames and the city of Calgary need a new rink way worse than the Jets and Winnipeg do.
The Saddledome can't even get all of the high end concerts cause they cant even get the stage in the building.
TNSE has a complete business plan with all of the other revenues that they generate from owning the property/casino the eggs are not all on a hockey ticket sales.
What do the Flames have again? One of the older rinks in the league and they rent it too, with their customers paying somebody else to park at their events.
