Like everyone that works at McDonald's is wearing a paper hat and making minimum wage. Hot take. There is more to running a hockey team and a sports entertainment company than just "event day staff". Lot's of support staff required and they're all full time.
Why should anyone care how many people they employee full or part-time? Red herring. Care about revenue generation and the tax base, because this is where the city's revenue comes from. The Flames have a payroll in the same ballpark as that of Talisman Energy and generate revenues in the $150Mish range. That makes them a significant benefit to the local economy and tax base.
