The city can counter with anything.

The options are endless. They could make it smaller, change the funding model, come up with a clean up cost plan and ask the Flames to pay part of it.

They could say, we can see what you were trying to do here (field house, clean up, develop down town with an anchor tenant), but we don't want the Field house downtown so this doesn't work for us.

A proposal isn't bound to the proposal itself it can be countered in any way you want.
