Flames tickets, concerts, events, food sales - that's what pays for the building over 20 years. Just like any other business decision.
But if you are leveraging against the CNRL stock (his biggest asset, presumably), then he gets in real trouble if that stock takes a tumble. It would likely force him to sell at the worst time. This is what J. Random is talking about.

Edit: I guess you are saying the Flames/building are the collateral in this scenario? That consortium better be huge Flames fans to lend anything close to the value of the building in that circumstance.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
