Yes, the requested funding for the Fieldhouse (to be located at the Foothills Athletic Park) is $200 million.

That's been the Flames' argument from the beginning... Hey, we're only asking for $200 million from the city (if we ignore the ticket tax and CRL), and that's money the city was going to spend anyway on the fieldhouse (if we ignore the fact that the city hasn't budgeted to spend that money on any long-term plan).
