I think it's actually a $1 million expansion fee with operating expenses of $8-10 million in the first few years. To give you an idea of scale, back in March 2021 CPL clubs said it was about $4 million a year to operate. That's definitely gone up since as the salary and travel costs are up.

Saw another interview where Matheson mentioned the idea of bringing all 8 teams to one location and having the West and East teams play each other to save on travel. Interesting idea, although I think if Calgary is playing the same 3 teams all year at home it will get stale quickly.
