Sorry how are you calculating this? Let's even use the Flames #'s. Here is the original Flames proposal:

It’s proposed the $890-million cost would be paid from four sources — a $240-million community revitalization levy, a $250-million ticket tax, $200 million from the city to fund the field house (long a priority on the city’s recreation list) and a $200-million contribution from the Flames’ ownership group.

Aside from the two simple line items, ticket tax is Calgary taxpayer money (also a later Q&A with KK would show that he wanted City of Calgary to front this money). CRL is also City money. CRL in layman's terms means using future property taxes to pay for current infrastructure - and property taxes are probably considered City money.
So how are you justifying your breakdown?

The City then said it would like Plan B, being Victoria Park.
CSEC said OK and provided a proposal.
There has been no response to the proposal.

Where is the proposal from CSEC? Do you have a link to it?
Where has it been confirmed that the City literally did not respond? Or was the response that they got not the answer they wanted? Considering Nenshi even yesterday talked about building an arena in Victoria Park, it seems very unlikely that there has been ZERO response to the "proposal."
