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.
How are my arguments weak? Honest question.

I wouldn't make Wembley or Alianz a main reason to visit London or Munich. But since I'm a sports and architecture fan, I would definitely go check them out if I'm in the area (which I did when I went to Munich). Why people travel is completely different for each individual. It's a bit ignorant to think that people should all travel for the same reasons you do.
