Because he 'wants' it, the Flames should consider themselves lucky they get anything?
I appreciate the point, and honestly would love if this was a zero dollar public venture, but REALISTICALLY that isn't possible.
And that doesn't mean throw them 10-20 million in infrastructure... it needs to be a shared solution.

It won't be completely privately funded. But the point is not just a point it's a fact. The Flames can't build a stadium wherever they want unless they want to pay for it outright. Otherwise they have to fit into the citys plans.
If you are jaded about Nenshi and view an entertainer district for the city as HIS project where he gets only what he wants and his way and it's going to be Nenshis playground or something than I'm not going to be able to convince you otherwise.
The city's view of East village with the arena seems like something the city would truly benefit from. Is it just because Nenshi is presenting that you are fighting against it? Because that's what it seems like.
Again, for better or worse, what the city council wants IS what the city wants. They are elected as representatives. Don't like yours? Vote for someone else next time.
