I wasn't asking what King and the owners would suggest. I was asking about the questions Calgary media should be asking.
There have been fully privately funded arenas built in other cities in Canada and the U.S. Wouldn't a fairly straightforward and not even combative question for King be "The owners have the money to build this thing privately. Why do you need any public money to fund this arena? " King may well have figures about population and arena income to back up his argument. But it's a perfectly legitimate - and obvious - question to ask.
