I wish the Flames owners would come out and say 'If you vote yes, a new arena will be built', because this is the best opportunity for it to happen.

So much for transparency if this is true.
As a taxpayer, I shouldn’t have to read between the lines when it comes to Olympics or Arena financing plans.
Getting into bed with the IOC is bad enough, having it negotiated by people who can’t tell us the truth makes it even worse!
I know this is an arena thread but the issues are intertwined.
