What are you talking about. Regardless of funding, the Flames simply can't "whip up the rink" wherever they so please. A project of this magnitude will absolutely require City and government involvement, even if they aren't footing any of the bill. You can't just pop up a rink on a piece of land you bought and that's that. Municipal infrastructure is required and impacted when you put in a facility that will get this kind of use and house 20K people for events. A lot of planning needs to happen.
