This article sums it up for me, haven’t seen it the last few pages, but I obviously agree.

In the context of who uses the Saddledome, that article isn't doing much to imply that anyone other than those who can drop a couple hundred dollars on a few hours of entertainment regularly enjoy the Saddledome experience.
As for the Hitmen and Roughnecks. I don't deny that they offer comparable entertainment for less. I also don't think either of those teams would have a problem continuing to play at the Saddledome under new ownership if the Flames decided to leave.
Which brings us to the hilarious premise of the article. His scary dream? LOL. I can do that too.
I awoke, smiling and satisfied from a wonderful dream. My favorite hockey team, the Calgary Flames, began the season 2022 season in their new building. How? The billionaire owners of the NHL team decided that the city which has supported them for decades shelling out 1/3 of the cost for their brand spanking new stadium, not to mention gifted land in the middle of an inner city area slated for substantial upgrades, was just fine and dandy and a deal was struck with little to no problems or hostilities.
