People would not hesitate to use public money to fund transit. Yet, the public is not allowed to use transit unless they also pay a fee. Same for leisure centres.

Yes, lots of events go through the dome. That doesn't add anything to the argument. Lots of events go through every single nightclub in the city. They do not and should not receive public funds or free land for development.
User fees for
publicly-owned transit and leisure centres go back into the public purse. Ticket fees and other revenue generated at
privately-owned facilities like the Saddledome go into bank accounts of their owners.
