And yet every city does it.
25.9 million revenue for last year with a solid playoff run. If they can save 300 million by going to another team and letting the Stampeders fall apart why would they not relocate. That's over ten years profit.
If you want a professional sports team then the city has to pitch in.
I don't use the bike paths, the new bridge, the library, and I won't use the expansion LRT. I don't even know what the Foothills Athletic Park is but that costs $140 million.
At least I would use the building to watch the Flames, my kids will use the field house, and I will never have to drive to Edmonton or Saskatoon to watch a concert again.

Then don't expect the city to build you a field house and not be a part of the costs of maintaning and any going upgrades. The city would be taking all the risks which isn't really fair.
