So many of you argue that the Flames would never leave. Then the moment the conversation turns to the ticket tax, you lament that it is a huge risk for the city, especially since the Flames could leave.

I will concede to you that the threat of the Flames leaving is zero. That being the case, the risk of the ticket tax becoming a burden for the city is also pretty much zero.
The Flames are not leaving. I was just taking a shot at all those suggesting they would if we didn't buy them their shiny new billion dollar arena/stadium. It's ridiculous either way but if you can use it to argue for, I thought i'd use it to argue against. Goose meet Gander?
