If you take out the personalities, looking at the 2 offers. One seems poorly thought out, incomplete, not researched and is insulting to anyone who may be looking at coming to a reasonable partnership.
The other includes all pertinent details, is full but concise, and seems absolutely ripe to negotiate off. Maybe it seems slanted towards the presenter, but that should be expected in a negotiation.
Stop wasting time and energy, you idiots (and I mean that sincerely). Counter the city's proposal and see how far it gets you. You might be pleasantly surprised.

The reason for this is that CSEG does not have any interest in actually building an arena in Victoria Park. Barnes'
"CP Historical Record" thread is very useful because it shows that in 2012 the Flames' interest shifted with their purchase of the Calgary Stampeders. From that point Victoria Park was no longer part of the conversation. The reason CSEG's response is so laughable and insulting is because the endgame from their perspective is still CalgaryNEXT.
