I have heard from a decent source that ownership does not have the same kind of wealth they used to. That is obvious. But more specifically a guy like, say, Markin who was worth over $1B is now worth closer to like 90M.

So I’m pretty sure if Calgary wants to keep the Flames they’ll want to buck up and help pay for the arena. If so much public funds was suddenly available for a half cocked Olympics bid, I see no reason why money can’t be made available for this considering the exponential value to citizens over multiple decades of entertainment vs. 14 days.

Also, again if people think we are on the brink of some kind of boom in the next 5 years you’re delusional or just not reading the news.
