I have been a pretty harsh critic of the Flames here and called Nenshi out as well. I have mentioned before when the Flames were about to anounce CalgaryNext I got in a Facebook debate with Druh Farell calling her out for preemptively calling all stadiums as a waste. I stood up for the Flames then, and then subsequently felt like a buffoon a day later.
That said if next week the Flames drop some creative offer with an epic arena design I'll seriously look at supporting them again.
It's just that the odds of that given their behavior and track record is not good. I will keep an open mind however. I am sure most others will as well. In the end I think everyone just wants a great team and great stadium that doesn't hose us taxpayers.
