Thinking out loud, would the fact that the Stampede benefits from this relationship not count for something? Wouldn't surprise me if the monies from parking really helps their bottom line. I know in the original land swap, the Flames lose their parking. I'm not saying the board needs to throw money in on this, but I think the money they stand to make being benefactors of a stadium should count as a benefit for the city.
Ballparking on the low side 3000 stalls at $15 for 70 events(Flames, Hitmen, Roughnecks, and concerts) gives them around 3M a year.
