"In almost every single case, the public sector blinks first and ends up throwing money at a project that's not going to recoup its costs."
"Really, it's just an issue at this point of how much money does the City of Calgary want to throw at this project, understanding that it's not going to get it back? How much does it want to sell to the taxpayers that this is what you're going to be on the hook for, even though the vast majority of residents in the city are not going to use that arena in any capacity?"

since the flames were booted from the playoffs, will this end the arena debate?
will the flames relocate to houston if this arena crisis is not solved?

The committee met a couple of weeks ago: https://livewirecalgary.com/2022/07/...amework-sharp/
Quote:
The Event Centre committee met Monday and delivered a short public presentation before going behind closed doors for nearly two hours.
When they returned to public, not much was shared.
During the public presentation, Planning and Development GM Stuart Dalgleish outlined the work that had been done so far.
As previously reported, a third-party team was put together and announced in May. That trio now has the name The Event Centre Visioning Group.
“Since that meeting, your city administration, along with its third party, have been continuing to undertake the steps and the work needed at this stage of our work toward a Calgary Event Center,” Dalgleish said.
Dalgleish said the third party has met with the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC) to get their perspective on an arena deal. There’s been no negotiation at this point.

This committee has only met four times, and this is the final meeting until September. More information is expected with work continuing over the summer. In fact, Sharp said she’s optimistic they’ll have more to present in public at that time.
“We are, behind the scenes, moving faster than I’ve ever seen administration move and the pressure is on,” she said.
“To the public, it may seem that we’re not moving quick enough because obviously government never moves fast enough.”
When asked about a specific timeline for a framework, Sharp said it was important that city council knows what projects are on the table prior to November’s four-year budget talks.
“I think in the committee’s mind, we would like a framework in place before budget,” she said.
“I would say we want something obviously concrete for deliberations.”

Cost of failed arena deal comes in at $16.8 million
The report says the city has tied up the loose ends of the previous agreement closeout, with a “near-final” contribution of $16.8 million.
The money came from a council-approved $312.9-million capital budget, meaning there is $296.1 million remaining.

Went to the Bettman STH lunch today. He is meeting with the mayor this afternoon.
He talked about the site in PHX for a new arena on contaminated land and paused and smiled which is another reason to think the West Village proposal may be real.
