Chew on this Calgary, both Edmonton and Winnipeg, the left and right armpit of North America, have facilities that blow ours out of the water. Thank God we have the U of C or we would be in same category as Toledo, or even Hamilton...oh that's right even Hamilton has a new stadium

How much is a triple A baseball team worth?
The stamps are the 3rd healthiest team in the league. The league will fail before the stamps do regardless of the Arena situation. A new CFL arena costs about 200 million at a 30 yr life and 10 games per year that's 600k per game not counting the time value of money.
As for the NHL stadium the owners have stated they were willing to kick in 450 million as part of Calgary Next. The good news is that is sufficient to build a Arena.
