This is the worst part of it all for taxpayers and fans alike. Not only are you getting bungled on the tax side of things, you're now getting hit again by simply trying to take in the team you enjoy in the new building. It's a lose-lose situation that no-one should want to be apart of.
If the Flames were at all smart, they would have asked fans to start paying a ticket tax when this whole debacle started years ago that was to be invested into an arena fund. By now the team would have most definitely stashed away a huge lump sum to finance the majority of the project.
