Uh, yeah.. this is what happens when you make the finals in 2004 and established a fanbase.
Pre 2003-2004 Oiler fans outdrew Flames fans at the dome regularly during BofA's and the team had a foot in Portland.
The Flames spending today has more to do with that Finals run than the lockout resolving anything.
