It's rather self-evident that the Flames need someone else to front the ticket tax. If the Flames do it themselves, then the NHLPA argues that the "tax" is merely a fiction designed to hide revenue and would accuse the team of circumventing the CBA. If someone else pays at the front end, the team would have an easier time justifying the tax as something separate from the ticket price.
As far as the ongoing battle with the Brothers Muta, you guys are trying to hold an indefensible position. Nobody believes that the first public rendering is what the final product will be, but everybody deserved something far better than that embarrassingly amateur rendering. The Flames completely effed up, and it has dramatically harmed their chances of gaining the necessary public support.
