If this were true Brett, we would be selling the Saddledome to pay for the new arena. Instead, we've gone from being equal partners to taxpayers contributing 97% of upfront cost for ZERO revenue. Gondek & #yyccc would be fired from any corporate board for agreeing to this.

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.
