^^^^^ for the record there was more than sufficient amount of parking around the old winnipeg arena. in additiona to the paid parking in the stadium lot, there was also some on street free parking in the area. i don't think parking/transportation was an issue in the jets demise.
the feds funding these mega projects is a very slippery slope - how do you fairly dtermine which ones get funding - currently the liberals are accusing the PC of vote buying (apparently those in the liberal party forget about the heady days of johnny c and paul m and all their good time initiatives in la belle province). persoanlly i am not in favour of the government funding these buildings; however i will concede that there are many spin-offs from building them.
