If true, why aren't the Flames pursuing this? 325mil to refurbish the Dome when Ownership already has 200mil to throw at the project seems much more attractive to me as taxpayer (no matter how much I like the combined facilities) than the 890mil + site remediation plan we were just pitched. The other 125mil is only half of the current proposed ticket tax. We wouldn't get the fieldhouse but from what I have read, the City hasn't funded it as of now anyway.
Am I missing something here, or is CSE just asking (unnecessarily) for a whack of public money it really doesn't need?
