From this thread, i really dont think you grasp that some people genuinely do not care about hockey or the flames. this is a luxury entertainment item people like you and me voluntarily pay for to consume

This is the entire negotiation in a nutshell as far as I'm concerned. Arena supporters think it is a privilege for all Calgarians to have a new building in their city and deem the city a dump without it. It would suck to lose the Flames (which I cannot see happening) but Calgary would go on.
This city has borderline catastrophic infrastructure, transit and schooling shortfalls to deal with amongst other things that I'm not willing to kick to the curb in lieu of Murray Edwards new playhouse (and this is coming from a lifelong Flames fan). What do some people expect the vast majority of fringe NHL fans in this city to say to these negotiations?
