Because those of us who think such facilities are a public good are looking past the fact that the people who operate it tend to be for-profit companies. A couple million people pass through the Saddledome's doors each year for sporting events, concerts, other events, tours, conventions, etc. These things, which add vibrancy to our communities, would not exist without the arena.
