If you want public money you better damn well be ready to accept some design changes meant to benefit the public, not your bottom line.

CMLC isn't minor to me either. But again, don't understand the context on why that request is even being made. Out of the four items leaked, the other three could be taken into consideration if it makes sense for both the Flames and city, but CMLC I find as necessary in running the project here from the outside.
Only way I would be okay with CMLC being pushed aside is if the Flames themselves are going to be the owner of the arena, and invest signifcanly more money from there end for this. I find that highly unlikely, so don't expect the city to submit on that one. But yeah, would be really interested in why that request has been made. Is it a power move by Flames? Is CMLC being unreasonable on the function of the arena itself? Or is it for innocuous reasons, and not a big sticking point?
