The Playoffs garner approximately $1 million in revenue per home game for the team. (Although that figure is a decade old now from when I was working there.)
I can understand the Flames not wanting to open their books to the City. Are they turning a profit? Probably. However, as far as asset management goes, the building is old and as it gets older it costs more to run/maintain. It is nearing the end of it's life expectancy and in order for it to continue to be operable for an NHL team, the amount they would need to spend in just maintenance is staggering.
I think a lot of people don't want to realize that it's not JUST about profit and opportunities. It's about user experience. What do their books have to do with the fact that you can miss an entire period waiting to get a Pocket Dawg or go to the bathroom? Do the books tell you about all the revenue left on the table because the building doesn't support it?
If you want to open books, let's open the books on their projections for after a new building is built.
