what would that split be with a 1.2 -1.7 billion construction fee for CalgaryNext? is the Flames ownership group still chipping in a 1/3? how about season ticket holders? Also a 1/3?
or would the City be paying an even bigger % of that?
thankfully, the west end project is dead...i'd be shocked if they developed it in the 20- 25 years

That completely ignored my comment about the cleanup. There is simply no option but for the city to pay for it. The polluter is dead, no one will buy it as is.
