We'll see how that all shakes out when more details emerge. I doubt the Flames went forward with that slide without having some idea of how feasible it is.

Come now...$890M is practically $1B. I'm just already estimating cost overruns, inflation and the rule of budgeting 50% more than your original budget for things you havent even imagined yet.
Further, I dont know whats exactly included in that number. The purchase of the land? Remediation? Infrastructure? Whats in there? Or is that a separate number?

You edited this after I posted. It being a City asset is huge.
If the City ever wants to bid for events like the World Cup or the Olympics its incredibly important that they control their own major venues.
Otherwise they have to go hat-in-hand to the Flames asking if they can borrow their toys and then the Flames either bend them over for cash or politely tell the people who didnt help them when they needed it that they're not getting any help when they need it.
