In addition, if the CSEC was a not-for-profit I imagine they would quite happy to accept the proposal the city offered. Funny enough, it would be as a not-for-profit that the CSEC could make a legitimate case for not paying property tax.
I might be wrong about this, but does anybody recall Ken King saying something along the lines that "professional sports isn't philanthropy."
