The money is either there or it isn't. If they pay for a stadium, something else has to be cut. There simply isn't enough money to do everything on our wish list. We're not Dubai.

I understand that governments have funding decisions to make. What I don't understand is your opinion that if the flames can't finance this stadium on their own then they need to leave the city. Some public money will end up going towards this project in the end. It's just the reality of the situation.
