Call it a conspiracy theory, but I have a sneaking suspicion the Flames and City are going to come to an agreement for a new arena deal just weeks before the plebiscite to swing the yes vote.
Too much infrastructure dollars on the table for the city NOT to leverage a bid here.
If Calgarians go to the polls knowing that Olympics = New Arena deal, I can't help but see an overwhelming Yes come out of the plebiscite.
If it does happen, the Flames have been very smart and will have outwaited a city that thought they had the upper hand.
