Like I've said in the past, I was okay with some public money for the arena but this seems like an incredibly #####y deal for Calgarians.

Is there any reason why they haven't touched on have a timeline for the project?

Its not 'free' but its still an outrageously good deal for him.

Compared to the last deal he scuttled it is a coup

Flames throw tantrum and get an even bigger cookie as a reward.
Honestly just embarrassing.

They kind of mentioned it. They said this was just a agreement in principal. Once all the i's are dotted and t's crossed, the timeline will start to come out.

Seems like a good deal?

can't believe the flames contribution is a rent payment (and $40m), which looks really low if they get all 365 days for events a year.

I don't understand why the city is putting in so much. We could almost have a blue circle on all sides of the city for that much.

He’s still getting an unreal deal.
Shows how fair and amazing the Tempe deal is from the coyotes AND it’s going to a city vote.
How does Edwards get away with this stuff??

Only thing I heard was 3 years for the infrastructure part. Nothing about the Arena.

It's rent.
He's not paying anything here.
He's getting a brand new arena built for him for a heavily discounted monthly rent.
