The thing is this isn't just about you, it's about the city as a whole.

I won't ever use the fancy library, I won't ever use the field house but I know it's good for the city.

In the end building a new facility makes more sense than renovating the old one. The biggest question is how to come to a point that benefits the Flames and the city a similar amount.
