In the most basic of terms, I see it as free money. We don't just get granted billions of dollars otherwise. And we were going to have to spend money anyways.
To that end, guess I'll have to spend my money and take kids to events in Edmonton or Toronto in 2026 for the World Cup instead, which I am more than happy to do even if FIFA is just as bad as the IOC. I want to see world class athletes and sports in our country and if Calgary doesn't want to do it, that's fine.
