Pro tip. You can do this after Christmas as well.
Tight!
I honestly don't get it. The City is basically paying for the whole thing. Edwards contributes from a ticket tax the citizens will be paying, but only the citizens who'll be able to afford tickets. At least they'll be a neat gathering space outside the arena...😐

When you add the #ableg and #yyccc cash to the tax paid by ticket purchasers, that means: The public is funding 97% of the new arena. Flames ownership will cover 3% of costs for 100% of profits. This is the biggest wealth transfer from public to private hands in city history.
Well, happy Friday to you as well @FmC977... 📻
Wow, that @hockeynight @Sportsnet opening tonight was really well done, great calls, great memories, so much emotion... #RIPBobCole

@GiantBlueRing I’m realizing, for the first time, that this might not be an elephant?
What is your favourite giant roadside statue in Canada?
@GiantBlueRing If only the hosing we got could be used against the forest fires
@GiantBlueRing Forget it, ring - it's Calgary. (And I can't wait to hear what the naming rights get sold for - every penny of which will go directly into the owners' pockets. That alone will give them obscene amounts of essentially free money.)
@ratliw @GiantBlueRing I thought the previous deal was decent, if we were going to do a deal with financial involvement from the City. Ultimately we would have got our money back. This one is as bad or worse than the Oilers deal that will be putting over $1B of city funds into Katz’ pocket.
~"This is the biggest wealth transfer from public to private hands in city history."
@GiantBlueRing @wildrose76 Politicians are somehow always convinced that their arena deal will be the one and only that isn't a catastrophe for taxpayers. I guess spending other people's money to keep the flow of free game invites coming is cool.
@rod_the_bod @GiantBlueRing Mayor deserves to lose her job for this AT THE NEXT ELECTION. The second she stood next to career crook and fraud Danielle Smith it was over for her in my books. 🙄
@GiantBlueRing They sold us out. And this is why not one of them deserves to be re-elected. (Now, the party changes may make some current councillors the lesser of evils on the ballot. That’s TBD.)
Since I’ve been covering chairs in the ring, I can’t leave this classic out.
Eddie Guerrero's high IQ move was undefeated
When you add the #ableg and #yyccc cash to the tax paid by ticket purchasers, that means: The public is funding 97% of the new arena. Flames ownership will cover 3% of costs for 100% of profits. This is the biggest wealth transfer from public to private hands in city history.
It took awhile to get the answers but now we know how the City will pay for its share of the costs for a new downtown arena. It will tap a previously unreported fund of cash to supplement existing pools of money. City's total costs: $850.3 million. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
