No one is stopping Flames owners from purchasing surrounding lands and developing there.

Isn't most of the land around there purchased by the stampede? Do they even pay any property taxes on the land? I think the stampede really wants it there because they benefit greatly being neighbors with the Flames. It wouldn't surprise me they made 5 million a year off events at the current dome from parking. Since they are a non profit I think they should reside in the pluses for the city.
