City will build an event center and 50/50 is the best offer they will ever get IMO...I think history will prove me right, hopefully it doesn't cost us the Flames

I think what I’d like to see though, and I think there have been hints of, would we get a better value if the City built and ran it themselves. Maybe the City hasn’t built an NHL arena, but they’ve built and operate rinks, rec centres, libraries, etc. They have put into place systems to manage memberships for libraries, rec centres, events. So would we be better off going this alone and building it closer to the vision the City has. Is there a reason to believe the City couldn’t do it as well or better than the CSEC and reap more of the rewards.
