Nenshi is all good with using taxpayer dough to send staff to the Grey Cup to support Calgary. I also noticed stamps flags were put up above traffic lights downtown at the city's expense. It shows the city of Calgary indeed supports the teams and they do see benefit in associating themselves with their brands/pumping civic prode. Not to mention how politicians are always ready for a cheesy mayor bet or opportunistic photo op in a local teams jersey when it's convenient.
No I don't support the city paying for the new stadiums, but like other people have mentioned I think there is a responsibility to the city to co-operate in an efficient way that enables Calgarians to have the best facilities possible.
