Say however, the city/province fund road improvements for this project, pitch in a significant amount on public areas between buildings like building a plaza with a giant screen so fans can come watch playoff games for free and pitch in a certain amount of dollars to the stadiums for the owners to meet certain criteria (ie. NHL rink larger than the 18,000 that the owners want, making sure they meet certain architectural standards to compliment the area, etc.)

If that's what you were advocating perhaps you should have listed examples of public plazas in Lebanon, not stadiums.
