Just guessing here:
McMahon - $150 million
Olympic Oval - $30-$50 million
BMO Centre /Big 4 - $50 million
Saddledome - any upgrades would be temporary lipstick so can’t count
Winsport $30 million
Nakiska/ Canmore - $30 million
Curling Centre - $25 million
Field house - $200 million
Community Arena - $50 million
Housing Units - $200-$300 million
Add those together, and you end up with a similar number to what has been going around as an approximate City contribution.

BMO/BIG 4 could be funded by Stampede
Oval needs 20 for the ice plant and slab rest is cosmetic
Winsport does not need upgrading as sliding upgrade is already funded independant of Olympics
We don’t need to fund a new ski lift at Nakiska
So really you get
300 million flames arena
200 million field house
150 million McMahon
300 million housing
For a city and provincial contribution of at least 1.5 billion. And you need to count provincial as that is clearly money that won’t be spent elsewhere. At that assumes the federal money is free.
