They pretty much have the funding they need to build an arena.

The money the owners are putting up and the ticket tax financed portion of CalgaryNEXT is pretty close to building an NHL arena.

Where the whole thing gets complicated funding wise is trying to build the CFL stadium for the Stampeders.

The Flames have tried to get creative and combine the footprint and buildings with the arena and make it a hybrid fieldhouse/stadium and using a CRL to make the financing work.
