While I haven't voted one way or the other...I see a lot of people against the spending of public money for a new proposed facility. There is benefit for both the citizens of Calgary and the Flames. I'll say that the benefit is more so to the Flames. With all this said, Public Money was still spent on Arena to the north. I'm sure if NPR's "planet money" could trace the dollars spent on Rogers place - some will have come from Calgarians. There is a logical middle ground for where the monies will come from. Suffice to say that I think some should be invested by government and some (more) from the ownership group.
