As long as we are ok with not having an arena after the current one becomes too expensive to maintain, this is a totally reasonable position.
My perspective is it is inevitable Calgary will end up with a new building with arena like functions (could be concert only), could have other compromises to lower the cost, but there will be cost. And that that cost will be higher in both upfront and ongoing support than taking the above city proposal, waiving the city property tax, and calling it a day.

I think this is where the deal will land when the smoke clears.
And then what about McMahon ?
