And I and several others have replied a dozen times that the cost is $1.8B because that's what it would actually cost. You don't get to just pretend that those dollars don't have to be spent. They are part of the cost of the project. That they would also be a part of some other hypothetical project doesn't make them imaginary.

Well sure ... and I can respond as many times as you can to say that's not the CalgaryNext cost.
Something around 50% of that cost is to do anything there, the other half is what the Flames are trying to do.
