It doesn't have to be an either/or scenario. At the end of the, many of us agree that the Saddledome, while still functional, is behind the times and an upgrade would be hugely beneficial from a fan-experience standpoint. But we also believe, that as with any other private business, the cost should be on the owners and their paying customers, and not the public.
Nobody is saying the Flames can't build a new stadium. If they really want one, they can go ahead and build a new stadium. They can buy some land, hire architects, file for permits, and pay for it's construction. You know, like every other developer in town.
These supposed roadblocks the Flames are fighting are 100% self-generated.
