Is there a viable model - aka profitable - where the city would build the entire thing, and then collect revenues from the Flames (long term lease), food/booze sales, entertainment etc?
The city locks the flames in for 30 years at a fair rent, and then rents it out to all the great entertainment that will be coming to town once this thing is built?
Can this stadium end up being ACTUALLY profitable for the city, as opposed to trying to measure the value of arts and culture, and status, and all soft emotional stuff. Has building a new stadium ever been measurably profitable for a city or state?
