Which is still relatively high, but the facility fee is supposed to be also collected from Hitmen, Roughneck, and other non CSEC commercial events (i.e. concerts) which I think is part of the projected $150 million. So it is plausible IMO.

FWIW last year, rough attendance was 885,000 for the Flames last year. That includes both pre-season and playoffs. Vivid Seats - which I use only because it was first Duck Duck Go hit - had us at 98USD for a median price last year. That's c$129 on average, or about $115 million in ticket revenue for the Flames alone.
The Hitmen drew an additional 300,000 fans, and the Roughnecks 140,000. Plus concerts and other events. Add in the fact the new centre will likely have more luxury suites and fewer cheap seats, and they shouldn't really struggle to get to $150 million in overall ticket sales.
