And ya ya.... Theyre ownership interest has increased substantially since original investments. But that equity is not realized until sold and value could crash same as it has risen.

Fair enough, thanks.
How much will that equity value increase with a new building (even if the team doesn't own it)? The answer is lots.
The value of the Flames franchise has increased magnificently as it is, from $135M US in 2006 to $435M in the latest Forbe's.
Perhaps the Flames should give the city a 25% equity stake from any future sale in exchange for some of this public money? City should probably get naming rights to.
