The vast majority of fans go to two or less games a year. Most go to none. They love their team and some sign up to forums to discuss their team, but they shouldn't have to pay anything for the benefit?
Edit: to reply to your edit, Jim and Judy do benefit. Also, the city isn't being asked to contribute $200M

no, they shouldn't, because its a private-for-profit business venture
it sounds like it may surprise you to hear that not everyone is a flames fan, or even a hockey fan in general. forcing them to contribute to a profitable, private entertainment company because affluent people like you and me enjoy pro hockey enough to spend thousands of dollars a year voluntarily is ludicrous
