But you want this new rink because you go and attend games - people who attend games WILL BE helping to pay for this rink in the manner of a ticket tax, and increased ticket prices.
What about people who have no interest in hockey, the Flames, or who can barely afford to go now and will be priced out, or who can't afford to go at all right now. Should they help subsidize something that they will not use at all? That will cost other people money to enter and use?
