Spend the money on LRT, roads, etc over getting a few more concerts every year.

This is not a response in agreement or disagreement in both this post and the funding in the arena in general; it's more of a comment. But concerts in a major aspect of culture, and I think it's important that Calgary matches up to Edmonton in regards to encouraging the younger demographic to live in Calgary rather than up in Edmonton. There's benefits in having concerts not skip Calgary but group north.
Again, just a comment, there's much more factors in place in regards to people lifestyle and the city that best accommodates them.
