It's a whole bunch of decisions related to the arena.
On ice performance has also been very poor all things considered. If you compare the Flames to the rest of the league using any starting point after 1990, we are in the bottom 5 using nearly any metric.
Ownership has not been afraid to spend money to try to win. Individually, they are all pretty good members of the community. Collectively, Flames foundation is also great.
They are neither evil nor holy. They are just people, like the rest of us. Like the rest of us, they don't deserve any special handouts.
Since we're speaking about selling stakes of the team, I'd be totally fine with public money contributed in exchange for a corresponding stake in the team. Since there was just a willing seller, the other owners might not even have to give up anything compared to what they had before.
