The Belmont Park development is going to be huge and has a lot more profit centres than just the arena (which in turn has a lot more profit generators than just hockey). It's got a hotel, entertainment district, and offices. All of which will be owned by the developers. That's a whole different animal than the Vic Park concept.
It doesn't have to be. If additional revenue from ancillary development is what's really needed or desired, I'm sure that's a point of negotiation that could easily be discussed.
