Its a matter of how much and what the terms are.

Personally, I'd be ok with "public money" going to:
• Having someone like CMLC masterplan an area vision (because frankly the Flames suck at it).
• Public Realm improvements around the arena/neighborhood.
• Public transit upgrades that can also be leveraged for non-arena uses.
• Assistance with management/processing.
• Perhaps some reasonable tax-breaks that don't put the City at risk.
I'm not really a fan of giving them land, because to me that's just basically giving them free money, that the City could use elsewhere.
