The new Regina stadium is going to get money from the city and the province and I don't see why some money from the city and province couldn't go towards the Flames plans as well. BC Place got provincial money so I think there is some responsibility there. The fly in the ointment is that the province didn't really kick in for the Edmonton arena so the Flames are probably out of luck there unless by adding the football stadium as well, they can get some provincial support. Yeah I know the owners are rich but with how sports finances are set up, building there own arena is a money losing proposition.
