Fair enough. You are certainly entitled to that opinion. I just happen to disagree. The arena was built entirely with public money so I am very happy that the operating rights (which, let's not forget, are something that they, like the Flames today, paid an annual fee for) were given to a not-for-profit Calgary organization which re-invests all profits into this city and this province instead of in private hands who put any profits into their pockets.
