If King and company every go down that route don't expect a cave in from the day-to-day citizen of Calgary.

The nice thing about the Flames is that they offer something to do and support during a time of the year when a very very large swath of Calgarians don't have anything to do. They play their season during the winter. All there really is to do during the winter here is winter sports in the mountains, which are even more expensive than Flames games.
