I know King mentioned the field house in this complex checked all the boxes in the original RFP. I just think the city is getting more value in the field house if it is part of the complex for that 200M. In that case I think it is a wash.
The remediation cost is the wildcard in all of this.

That hasn't really been a huge issue. In the article last week they talked about the city paying 200 for the field house but also said the Flames would foot the bill for the rest. That was ok with most people (although many rightly raised the concern of the fact that it isnt funded and wants vs needs etc.)
The issue now is the city is contributing alot more for the project than the original project.
