A project of this size and scope does not happen without the support of government. The Bow/Crowchild situation needs to be dealt with - no better time for the city than as part of a project like this. Rail and bus line needs to be incorporated, etc.
These things are not the responsibility of the arena, they are city planning issues. Lumping it all under the guise of 'handouts to the rich' is mind-numbingly obtuse.

lol no. Why should we motivate city council to give them money or free land for the privilege of the Flames maximizing their revenue while offering less general attendance seating, more suites and likely a higher ticket prices?
That would make us morons. We'd be begging to pay to end up with a more expensive, more exclusive experience.
