I agree with you that it should be more nuanced than assumed to be the owners share, but the Flames were very clear 18 months ago about their position on this. Maybe Edwards and King will come around to viewing ticket tax/user fees as a split contribution between Team and City - I won’t hold my breath though. The Calgary taxpayer is not in a strong negotiating position now on the arena, but maybe people view it as a lesser evil than the Olympics - we’ll see.
