I think the owners would rather continue to play in the Saddledome then sell the team at this moment. Besides the fact that the rink is old, there is nothing forcing them to build an arena. It's still profitable to play in the Saddledome.

Should Oil stay down and team performance stay at this level and attendance drop like the 90's and 00's? That threat becomes a lot more real in the next couple years.

The Flames are already our only top tier, world class entertainment option. Losing them would suck. The only thing left to put Calgary on the map is a week in July and the fact that it's close to Banff.
