Maybe a bit of hyperbole, but the Damascus stadium was renovated in 2011 to be an all seater stadium. Something Calgary still doesn't have.

Yes, and in third world countries the government could care less about their people nor their access to vital infrastructure. You are aware the Syrian government has been murdering its own citizens for the past year or so, right? Pretty easy to pay for a new stadium when you're not even providing your citizens with a basic standard of living and havent been for a long time.

Is that what you're hoping for here in Canada? The government starts to do away with our public infrastructure (and therefore our standard of living) so we can start building bigger and better sports stadiums on the public dime?
