No. It is there. All studies of that nature suggest that, like the recent Ottawa University one.
What probably none suggest (except the stupid City Shaping propaganda out of Edmonton) is that a new facility stimulates economic development/growth and will broaden/expand the tax base such that it pays back a huge investment, like Edmonton's half billion dollars.
No NHL team will come to Calgary without a new building, with ten years or so. Again, or rather still, who pay how much and how that's paid is the only question.
