You have to clean it up, run utilities, make roads, move roads, alter roads, look at the crowchild overpass.

Building a sports district there changes things and may add infrastructure costs to the original plan, but to just say all of those costs are for this project is a little disingenuous.
There are better ways to use the land than letting the Flames increase their profits and valuation of the team, if you subscribe to the theory that it has to be cleaned up, put something there that's beneficial to the city, and more beneficial to the citizens of Calgary, it's ridiculous to go, welp ya gotta clean it up anyways better spend all this money for a private company
