Someone should walk up to the Flames ownership and say, "I want to make a jug of lemonade, which is going to cost $99 to build and fill up. Here's the deal: I'll pay $33 and you'll pay $66. In return for each of our investments, I'll charge you $5 per glass and keep 100% of the revenue, and you'll charge me $10 per year in tax. What do you say?"
