You may have noticed lots of empty seats for the Red Wings home games in their brand new arena. Is that what $863 Million ($324 Million of that being Public funding) buys you? Overpriced seats people can't actually afford? |
This is the part that I don't think people are factoring in. This new arena is going to cost the average fan who goes to Flames games a ton of money. Very likely your new seat isn't going to be any bigger or more comfortable than your current seat, very likely you'll end up just as far or further from the action. But you'll pay a ton more per ticket and likely for concessions - in return - you'll get a bigger concourse (so people will go out there more and spend more money).
Unless you hate the Saddledome - as ticket paying fan - this new building is not going to improve anything for you and cost you a ton more money per game.
