I disagree. People forget that back in the 90s when the team was struggling to fill the dome the economy in Alberta wasn't anywhere near as strong as it is today. Corporate Calgary has a lot of dough, and I don't believe the fortunes of the team on the ice have much influence on corporate schmooze-fests. It's NHL hockey. Are energy companies going to start taking clients to Theater Calgary to impress them?
