for $200 you can sit down watch your team play, spend $20 on a couple beers another $10 for a burger.
The cap has risen about $30 million since 05-06, pretty disproportionate to the rest of the working force. If the flames/ Bettman think they deserve to only put in $200 million in to their dream billion+ dollar project then maybe they need to look in the mirror.
Good luck finding as many die hard fans in another empty market. I'd rather see them go than see another money hungry team(company) strong arm a government because they aren't rushing to empty their coffers for them. I believe they deserve some money, maybe even $300 million for an arena along with a field house/football stadium. But the way King and the flames act is pathetic, childish and greedy.
Btw is Francis an idiot or what. listening to him it's amazing how little he knows about issues on anything other then the flames, And he doesn't really have too great of an understanding of hockey either.
