I don't think anyone is opposed to a new arena (other than maybe the Stampede board if it's not on their site anymore), people just don't want to be building it for the enjoyment of the owners and wealthier fans while the average fan ends up the big loser.
The fact no good Edmonton threw away money for their arena doesn't not mean actually good Calgary has to do the same. The Bell Centre, the ACC and Riot Arena were all 100% privately financed. This one could be as well and of course I expect the owners to try and get money, I just hope they aren't actually expecting money.
