Don't 8th/7th ave improvements give our citizens a better quality of life? Does everyone use that area? No.
Does the river walk improve our quality of life? Does Fish Creek? Nosehill park?
How is a stadium district any different?
I'm not. Thanks for coming out though.
Ever heard of Wembley Stadium in London? Alianz Arena in Munich? Rogers Centre in Toronto? Wrigley Field in Chicago?
I suggest you look them up.

Every point you make is, IMO, weak and actually a bit sad. If you're (or anyone, aside from maybe a stadium
Architect) travelling to London to see Wembley stadium or Muchich to see Alianz Arena you have truly missed the purpose of travel or simply appreciate some (IMO) pretty foolish things.
I am not going to try and respond to everyone of your inane ramblings anymore, but I will simply say I strongly disagree with each and every point you've made in this thread and believe our mayor would side with me if he were involved in the debate.
If this city had no NHL rink or CFL stadium I might agree if you, but we do have both, both do exactly what we need them to do and we have a ton of other needs not being met at this time (ring road for one). I will never agree with public funding of stadiums and can only hope that, at the very least, the city stands up and says no, even if the province isn't able to.
