I love it.

They can't even sell all the tickets.
No, the Toronto media is electrified with the games. People are talking about the perennial loser Jays right now more that the games. The games are like the All-star gamr. Great fun for the host city, but no one elsr gives two...
As far ad the project goes right now, looks cool and I hope it happens. But projects like that get cut away until they are a fraction of the original proposal. Plus Calgary also has meeting areas like Olympic Plaza, and a whole new arena complex on the drawing board.
As I said, I hope it happens. But I know Winnipeg very well, and I'll be amazed if it rivals amything we have or end up with
