By stay at home, I am saying a good portion of the project is user pays.. Extra fee on parking, ticket sales on ALL events not just hockey. You don't support the arena Stay home and don't use it.
Not sure if you heard but the hockey team did put up a good chunk, as well as the Stampede. The city weather you want to say it or not does benefit from events in said building, so they ( Tax payers ) put in as well.
What is a Good investment? How much $$ is the tax paid Library bringing into the city per year??
Would like to hear how you charge a hockey player, who only lives here during the season, and that can be traded anytime a fee for buying the city a entertainment venue.
Anyways can't wait to party it up in the new place. Hope it's state of the art.
