100% of the costs and 100% of the revenue. The Flames want the city to pay 50% of the costs and receive 0% of the revenue. What's the better deal?
Remember, the Flames needed a new deal in the mid-90s because the deal they had where the city and Stampede received a significant amount of the revenue from the Saddledome saw too much money going to the city and Stampede board and not enough to the Flames.
Also, if the city is building a new facility on their own, it doesn't necessarily need to cost $500 million.
