The city gets a lot more from the Flames brand. They get the economic boom (jobs with the Flames and money spent elsewhere), the charities, and good vibes in the city. Does crappy artwork give the city that?

This city is already pretty dead, without the Flames there would be nothing to do on a Thursday night in January.
