What no one has brought up is the posturing being done by both the city and team until a decision on the 2026 Winter Olympics is decided (Later this year). If Calgary decides to bid on the Olympics there is a strong belief that they will easily win the bid. When that happens, the Federal Govt will chip in for the arena, which is a benefit to both the team and city.
If they DON'T proceed with the bid, the city and team figure it out. Either way, a new arena is being built.....we just have to wait to see who is footing the bill.
This is ALL about the Olympics at this point.
