As business owners, they have every right to explore methods of financing other than their own. That's what smart businessmen and women do. The Flames ownership group is doing just that, and this is all part of going through the motions of the whole arena infrastructure process. I'd be more worried if this wasn't happening, which would mean nothing would be happening at all.
I'd love to see a new arena / stadium / redeveloped district, which I fully anticipate Calgary will be enjoying within the next 10 years regardless of who ends up financing what percentage of the project.
