The field house is also a facility that will be used by Calgarians 365 days a year. I know hockey fans don't want to hear it but it's a far better deal for Calgarians than the arena.

Competing with the rest of the league? It's a capped league at like 4 million. They will be fine. "Box money" who the hell is going to buy those and for how much? Stampeders are not a corporate ticket.
