If you consider CSEC and ticket tax as Flames contribution similar ratio would be 50.5%. Then there is also the question of how relevant that % is with additional infrastructure costs and other things.

Even if you want the flames to stay the best deal the city can make is at least 2-3 years away. The day before they are ready to move is when the city should sweeten the offer. Stay strong Calgary, there are more teams than NHL markets.

So, if King is right that they were offering essentially the same percentages for Victoria Park as CalgaryNext, and the city is offering a 1/3 split, they're not that far apart.
Basically, it's the difference of the funding for the fieldhouse. Since a standalone arena wouldn't include the fieldhouse, the remaining is a 1/3 split of everything else.
Get your #### together and get a deal done you whiny #######s.
