When you go to some of the newer arenas around the league and then go back to the Saddledome, it is like night and day. It's like stepping into a time machine.
I'm not a Calgary resident so I tread lightly when it comes to the issue of spending public money, but in general, I'm not adverse to the idea. Having said that, the Flames have a very wealthy ownership group.
Also, when the Pens had Bettman petitioning Pittsburgh for a new arena, the end results were positive. It doesn't hurt to have him on your side.
