I am surprised that the Flames didn't throw in a token share of the $330M cost savings due to the shared design. Like, say even just make it $190M so you can tell tax payers this helped save them money vs a previous budget.

Except that would be $200 million to a city owned and controlled building. Will the flames own and operate this field house? Totally changes things.
