At this point, nothing the Flames have done has been passed onto taxpayers in any way shape or form. To think that no money has been spent on this project to date, however, is blissfully ignorant.
Also, I'm actually not a fan either of announcing the forecoming announcement of information and then it doesn't happen...
...but at the end of the day, a) it's their project, it's their timeframe, and getting upset because you think it affects you is a futile exercise, and b) we should be so lucky that we have an ownership group that is willing to do something this ambitious. This isn't just simply a hockey arena, I can tell you that.
