The Oilers get nice, shiny new digs and the City and Citizens get a nice fat bill to pay for the foreseeable future. Thanks but no thanks. I like the Flames but I love Calgary.

Really people act like that money is coming out of their own personal bank accounts but the reality is that the city will manage just fine and things will move forward. We always hear about all these bad deals in North America for professional sports facilities but when has a city actually really been crippled because of it? All the cities are wasting taxpayer money on a daily basis and an arena just a different place to waste it.
