$100m cash from owners for Fieldhouse/Stadium
$200m borrowed through CRL (like East Village) for remediation and infrastructure
$100m from Province and/or Feds for environmental remediation and infrastructure (helping facilitate but not paying for arena/stadium for things needed anyway regardless of those facilities)
Land given by City for "free"
Boom $1 billion give or take.

IMO this is going to be one of the biggest pieces of the entire puzzle. Interested to see how they swing this one.
