Tim et Sid discutent de la situation complexe et conflictuelle à Calgary, où l’équipe et la ville ne sont pas sur la même longueur d’onde concernant la construction d’un nouvel aréna. L’argent, le hockey, les contribuables et la politique donnent lieu à un débat passionnant.

Sid you're wrong about seattle not wanting a team
Seattle doesn't care about hockey, huh?
If you think this is a problem now, just wait til 2028, when all the big market cities are in this position. Congress had better sign a bill that bans taxpayer money to subsidize stadiums. If the original 6 teams could last as long as they did in their old arenas, the rest of the league could with theirs. Those old "cathedrals" survived 2 world wars, uncertainty, the Great Depresssion, not to mention the 60s social movements, civil rights, etc. What have these new arenas been thru?
Everyone saying the public shouldn't have to pay to build an arena is wrong. You go to the games you watch them on t.v. you government can't just give out favours for the sake of giving favours.
i've been to the saddledome a few times in recent years. I dont see what's wrong with it? they dont mention in thiss video.
That was awesome Sid…..Calgary loves hockey and if the Flames ever move …..there may be a riot lol …..
I think they should just move to Kansas City. They have a ready Areana just need owner ship.. what will happen is Calgary will see all the money they will lose. And then try to get a team back in. Calgary doesn't know what they have in till they loes it
I do think public money should be used. But only for season tickets holers. The rest no. Because you know there fans. The rest will say they don't watch hockey so why should they have a tax increase to pay for it.. it might not be a lot of money but it's a start
calgary fans are great
I wouldn't have an issue with taxpayers' money paying for 1/2 to 2/3 of these arenas if it didn't cost $150+ for nosebleeds, beers were $20, etc. If it was $100 to sit behind the glass and free parking, that sounds like a fairer deal.
No.
Sid's Seattle mini-rant has NOT aged well.
Flames out first round. Sid is clueless. They got the experience. Sid is a hypocrite. Leafs fans show up and are laughed and demonized by sid, but the flames fans arent?
Payback plus interest sid. Thats the difference. The nice white spot places? What does that even mean?
Have you been to Rogers arena? It’s built in a slum! I’m scared to take my family there! It’s full of drug addicts
Go the Green Bay Packers route, publicly paid for and publicly owned.
Watching this before the 24 playoff bracket in 2020 knowing the flames are getting a new stadium in a few years has me blessed. Calgary = blessed.
Oh boy… Sid's NHL in Seattle take has not aged well.
Thank you Sidney for mentioning the Flames fans ….may not be the loudest fans ..but they've have supported this team since 1980
The Seattle Kraken have entered the chat
Listening to this in 2023 is hilarious. Sid's take on Seattle aged so poorly as the Kraken are killing it in Seattle.
I presume the costs of those other venues are in Canadian dollars, and not US?
