I would rather see the team leave without any city money than the team stay on a sweetheart deal.
Call me a traitor, call me a 2nd tier fan, call me out for "not being a true fan" whatever you want.
The Flames being located in Calgary is worth something to me. Its worth something to the city. Is it worth 450 million? is it worth the lost opportunity cost that money could do elsewhere in the city? not a chance.
