I guess the hope of a shiny new sports arena with all the bells and whistles is going to cost. For the most part, fans/citizens are both interested and excited about the prospect of a new arena in downtown Calgary. THe only problem? The cost. Almost everyone I’ve talked to welcomes the idea, but not at the expense of any taxpayer money. The ownership group would have it differently with around 25%+ coming from the taxpayers coffer. That amounts to 250+million. The other side of the coin is the ticket-sale ‘tax’ where fans will pay incrementally with higher ticket prices.
