As to bolded two, your co-workers are aware they don't get to use the arena for free, and that any new arena comes with ticket prices that are guaranteed to increase a minimum of 20% right (nevermind $15 beer)? And that they can whine and moan about the Peace Bridge and Libraries, but them ####s are free to use right?

The point these folks are making is they don't necessarily use the peace bridge, or any field houses, library, etc. They do however go to the dome often for Hitmen, Flames, and Roughnecks games in addition to concerts etc.
They would rather taxpayer money go to something THEY use.
