Why do people think Flames ownership would (or should) roll over and take it up the hoop when they just watched Oilers ownership get handed over $300 million for their new arena?
They are not going to privately fund a new arena.
If you want the Flames to stay in Calgary long term you are going to have to help pay for the new arena or eventually some other city will.
If you don't want to help pay for it (in the form of public funding) then fine, but you can't really piss and moan about it when they talk about potentially moving on to a place that will help them fund a new arena.
