Calgary is a rich city so even if there's government money for a new arena there might be PSLs; but if there's no government money PSL's are a lock. Owners will be passing off the majority of the cost of a new arena to someone, lord knows they won't be paying for it all, they didn't get to be rich by giving their money away.
It's pretty funny who the two teams in the NHL who currently have PSLs: Predictably, Toronto. Not predictably? Columbus. If I had to guess right now without having a clue about government involvement, I'd say there's a 40% chance a new arena here will have PSLs. Fans will say they hate it but more than enough rich fans will fork the cash over. Sucks for the average fan but they aren't building a new arena with the average fan in mind, they're building it for more luxury boxes and to charge more for tickets (and have fewer seats, for more luxury boxes).
