Turns out this is the Flames' version of the Edmonton deal. City takes the brunt of the immediate costs, while the Flames only front a fraction, and the user ticket surcharge is considered part of the Flames' contribution... And apparently they didn't even get the total cost of the thing right.
If this is the hill they choose to die on then I bid them a fond farewell to whatever American market where hockey is the 3rd or 4th most popular sport in which they believe they'll find better business.
