As usual this thread has turned into a pissing match between two opposing lines of thought.
While the designs were ugly and needed work I think the west village idea as a complete sports, commercial and residential development was an awesome idea. Expensive? You bet but a win for ALL involved in the long run and will never be more affordable .
On another point, if the Flames need more revenue I have no problem with pay for viewing say $5? Per game.
As for attending games, I can afford a few each year but having to deal with the traffic and parking is such a problem I can't be bothered.
I hope the Flames stay but life goes on if they leave. I will support them wherever. Being from Winnipeg and having gone through the loss of the original Jets, I can tell you that the community will suffer. Sports team bring people together no matter your race or beliefs. Losing the Flames will have a negative effect on the city. And if you haven't walked in those shoes you have no idea...
