I'm not saying the City/Province should pick up the tab, but they are damn lucky to have a tenant like the Flames and ability to share costs when a new venue is constructed.
I tell you one thing, the fact that 11 cm of snow over a few days span made the Saddledome Roof unacceptable for a pretty light stage setup, kind of freaks me out. How much longer does this building have left if that's the case?

LOL no kidding...and these stage setups aren't getting any smaller
