So my understanding is that the citizens of Calgary would get nothing directly from funding this arena? If the CSEC would want to sweeten the pot a bit, why not offer to allow every resident of Calgary 5 - 10 tickets to any event in the new arena. If I was guaranteed to get something out of this, I might be a little more open for public money going into this. As it is, why would anybody who's a taxpayer in Calgary feel beholden to this enterprise?
