Build a stadium, lease it to a private enterprise, have them hold events there and pay you a lease.
The Flames want a new building without owning it or paying rent for it or taking on any of the associated costs, but without giving up any revenue from events held there.

And go to the list provided, use your Google-fu skills, and realize the reality of the large arenas and stadiums. The public foots the bills for these things and the returns to the public is pretty much nil. These buildings are break even at best, which is why the business owners want no part of them.
