I am not saying that there won't be jobs without the Flames, or that a few dozen (or whatever) part time jobs are going to change the economy in any material way, I'm just saying that all jobs are a good job for somebody. So let's not pretend otherwise.

I never worked there but I had many friends who did work at the dome and the impression I had was that the vast majority of employees there were university students or retired/semi retired old folks. It was perfect for students because pretty much all your shifts are evenings so it is easy to manage a full time school schedule and make a few bucks in the evening.
