Yeah those numbers are nuts. And also if there is a public benefit to having the building... Oh well. Guess that's good for the city.
I just feel that when you buy a pro sports team, you should anticipate putting dough into a building. Calgary is an NHL worthy city, flames or not there will be NHL hockey here. If they want to move, go nuts. If they feel they need a new building, go nuts. But don't steal my money pretending it's in my benefit when really it's in the benefit of millionaires and billionaires and the saddledome is just fine for me.
