Which is why when the Flames open the books, any sort of public hand out should be tied to a net profit % the Flames expect to make in the new arena - anything over, the City gets a kick back depending on how much over. Anything under- too bad, they got free money from the tax payers, we are not taking on risk with it as well.
And yes, Net profit with a sports team can be a funny pickle considering the owners apparently don't take money out of the team, so they would need to ensure they have the right accountants from the City organizing the deal!
