That's arguably the most central component of the entire arrangement being proposed by the Flames.
Okay, no it isnt. The Ticket Tax thing is actually no big deal, and Ken King actually answered Francis' idiotic question before he ever even conceived of asking it.

He doesnt know because that a bridge to cross when you get to it. It is asset backed financing and it anyone can do it at any time, theres no risk and ergo little reward which is why its preferable for the City to hold it because their costs of borrowing are likely lower so less gain or cash goes out the door.

The Flames can back it. Or the City can back it. It can be backed. Problem solved.

Granted, it would have been much better optics if the Flames had just said they were going to take care of it.

WHY NOT
Ha! I dont think you appreciate the amount of cash Adidas spends on uniforms and sponsorships on an annual basis. $50M is a drop in the bucket.
