This is a high profile project that involves high profile players (in fact the highest in town, the Stampede, the Flames etc.) so of course the public will (and should) focus on the details of the deal.
But its kind of comical when you think of everything else governments at every level do in terms of the spending of public funds without any review by the public. We only hear about those things because the media decide they are of sufficient importance to warrant public scrutiny.
EDIT: And without access to information laws we might never hear about them.
