Flames Announce Deal For New Arena 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Apr 26, 2023 5:07 am

The Calgary Flames will get a new arena to replace the aging Saddledome under a deal between the team\'s ownership and city and provincial governments.

Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corp. -- which owns the Saddledome and the Flames -- announced the deal on Tuesday, as did the city of Calgary and the Alberta government.

The price tag for the arena was estimated at $800 million Canadian ($587 million U.S.), with the entire project estimated to cost $1.2 billion ($880 million U.S.).

I strenuously object to this waste of taxpayer dollars. If the team can't pay for it themselves, then move to a different city.
