The dollar figures won't go over, but you know the Calgary Entertainment group knew they wouldn't, figures will be adjusted and we'll see what happens. Regardless I wouldn't get too worked up over it, the city wastes money on stuff all the time, like the bridge, blue circle art piece that nobody cares about etc...
This development opens up not only sports and entertainment opportunities but also a completely new district for business's to generate the city revenue. While a LOT of money its not completely wasted money, and the city will have some if not all ownership of parts of this project which allows them to bid on bigger and better things. MONEY aside, I fail to see how this isn't a win/win
