I wonder what the non-hockey crowd thinks? The businesses in the outlying areas that are paying through their butts (and passing it on to customers), the taxpayers everywhere who couldn't give two figs about the Oilers....
If I were one, I'd be pretty ticked off. Huge expense. Zero value (to me).
Would NOT be happy if Calgary followed the same funding model as I'm now (back) paying property taxes there.
