Not saying it justifies the cost. But people constantly whine about an arena being built for the few who can afford tickets, when that isn't the whole picture.
Sure, tickets are expensive and therefore somewhat exclusive. But there is also a benefit for everyone. The team is ours as a community. And it's (essentially) free for all to enjoy.

Obviously as others have mentioned, this is preposterous. And that doesn't even include the fact the Flames make money off the TV deal, and the less you watch, the less money they make (in future deals, that is).
