So far, the city's position (or at least what the Mayor has said publicly) is that Calgary doesn't need a new arena, and if the Flames want to build one because it will improve their bottom-line, they should be paying for it themselves.
Related to this article. Council/Mayor share what they feel would be a fair compensation from the city's side. Many consider giving the land as the city's concession. (The other new arena thread had lots of discussion related to this article /Nov '14)
