We are to good of a city and to loyal a fan bases to be forced to deal with the joke of the dome. We deserve much better. Even the commish of the NHL admitted our rink is an absolute embarrassment when he was on the radio the other day.
Have some class as an organization Flames and do away with our slum home. We are to good if a city and a franchise to put up with that joke of a rink. It's embarrassing.

The city better be prepared to folk over some money towards building the world class facility it deserves then.
There's going to be a fair amount of opposition to any funds being provided to the project - as to be expected - but I honestly believe that in the end, some money is going to go towards it. It's something that will benefit the city's economy and eliminates that need for the city to build a facility of that stature for themselves down the road. And there's opposition for any major project that a lot of money is invested into. The SW Ring Road is getting some, and the goddamn Peace Bridge debate still gets debated about.
You want nice things in your city? You're gonna have to pay for it, even if it isn't operated by the city itself in some cases like arenas/stadiums. That's the standard that's been establish, and it's not gonna change anytime soon.
