This thread is a total downer at a very low point in the “hockey” part of the franchise. A new arena anchoring an entertainment district in the heart of your city is something to be excited about. The proof is in the pudding - look at any major new sports development in North America. This will be amazing for the Flames and for Calgary.

Is there any level of cost to taxpayers where you would have been against the deal?
$2 billion?
$4 billion?
$10 billion?
The upside to getting a new arena is obvious to Flames fans. But you can't blame people for being frustrated when they look at what it's going to cost us...
