What is the benefit of the city owning the building? they own it now and they dont get any revenue or lease payments? They get stuck with the Saddledome when the Flames move out.
and what stops the Flames from just up and leaving the city? we can talk about how that wouldnt happen but it almost did once. Even Katz flirted with a move to get a better deal. What is stopping the flames from doing so to get a better lease deal in 10 yrs?
The building is worthless without revenue generation. Worse, its a depreciating asset that will be worth nothing when the Flames move again.
