The arena was funded by the following sources:[20]
- $279 million from the Community Revitalization Levy (CRL) and other incremental revenues (increased parking revenue, reallocation of existing subsidy paid to Northlands and new taxes from business in the arena)
- $125 million from ticket surcharge on all events in the new arena
- $137.81 million from lease revenue for the Arena
- $23.68 million in cash from Edmonton Arena Corporation
- $25 million from other government sources
So that is a total of $590.49 million of the $609 million cost of the whole project.
Who is the $137 in leases - isn't that the oilers? ergo - Katz?
