I see nothing but short and long term positives for the soccer turf, and fixing hockey rinks.

I agree with you. There are loads of benefits.
Talk council into giving up their raises for new turf, I'm with ya.
Talk them into giving up their private health club for the turf, I'm there.
pedestrian bridges, "training" junkets, and so on.
But right after the hue and cry of the last budget raises, and with the tightening economy, I'm not sure how the average person walking down the street will be convinced that artificial fields are a priority. I'm guessing they will say that soccer should be played in the summer on an open field like it is every summer.
From a theoretical point of view, this is exactly the type of infrastructure that should be done. I just think it will be a tough sell and look like another special interest asking for money for their pet project.
