This is what a lot are not understanding.
I have talked to numerous STHs and reps from the Flames side. Every year without a new building, it is becoming harder and harder to get people to renew and the new building is going to address a lot of those concerns.
Just because the Flames are averaging 17,000 doesn't mean a chunk of those people are happy. There is a large chunk of STHs who want the amenities of a new arena. It's not just bathroom lines and better concessions. The arena itself becomes a gathering spot in more ways than one.
For example- I wouldn't even host a birthday party at a Flames game. But in the new arena- I would consider it. That's just one simple example from my POV.
