No.
HOU is out. Toyota centre is already 18 years old and they aren’t getting sweetheart terms as a tenant.
QUE has ownership that wants to buy.
No other city comes close to CGY as a market.

Yes Calgary would eventually lose the Flames without a new arena deal without public subsidy. But all these alarmist posts about Houston and Portland et al are just entirely premature and not rooted in fact.
The City is not in a bad negotiating position.
