I see where you're coming from, but perhaps I'm naive enough to not be concerned by it.
You're hopeful, it's good to be hopeful. I'm just jaded because I've seen the whole "We NEED a New Stadium" movie before. Maybe it'll be different this time, who knows? And it doesn't make the Flames owners bad people for wanting it, the game is the game and many others have gotten the public funds.

I don't ever blame the owners for asking. I blame the governments for caving so often.
