This isn't a restaurant we're talking about here. This is the Calgary Flames. They are the epicentre of this city. Do what needs to be done and get this done, for goodness sake.

What taxes do the team bring into the city?
I'd also probably put the international tourism at 'negligible' when talking about benefit.
