That's why they are wealthy, they don't lose money, everything is operated to generate a ROI, and just for the record....none of the owners of the Flames are billionaires....not even close. Yes they are wealthy and there is nothing wrong with that they earned it. Why would anyone stay in Calgary when you can get a better deal in Québec, Kansas, Seattle. Calgary either steps up to the plate or we all become Oiler fans, Edmonton is a far better place for NHL, they have less whiners and a beautiful new facility. Calgary has the oldest and poorest NHL facility, and the absolute worst CFL facility McMahon is an absolute embarrassment.
