I agree the Flames can pay for it but so far we've seen an unwillingness to bend on both sides of that deal. I'm just suggesting that a hard 2024-2025 deadline to get the building built and operational might be the kick in the pants this sleeping negotiation needs

But even if the Flames foot 100% of the bill for the Arena using the Olympics as a reason to build it is silly, as it puts the city, province, and feds down a couple billion for hosting the games.
