I wasn't doing that. But lets go with it. Calgary does get skipped over--this is a fact--and it's not just the crappy concerts, it's also major conventions, worlds fairs/expos, women's world cup, etc. all that would not happen with big modern facilities. So yeah, I think that Saddledome/McMahon problems are holding back our national and international reputation-and a price is being paid.
I don't think Florida says it is blanket rule that public investments on facilities never make sense, there are exceptions.
