This $750M cost would mean improvements to McMahon, The Oval, Winsport, etc, along with a new field house and rink to replace the Corral.

$750M between 1M residents, over a 10 year span (2019-2029) would be $75 per person per year.

Is the Olympics worth $75 a year to you?
These things are going to cost Calgary Taxpayers without the Olympics.
