What they're building will also be usable by the public. This city would benefit from a multi-sports complex.
It's also making a decrepit bus depot and a car dealership on polluted land into a world class facility and entertainment district.

Depends on the ticket. Don't know what Hitmen tickets are, but adding $10 to what's intended as a discount entertainment option (or, say, something like family huddle tickets for Stampeders games), is increasing the price substantially. Jumping from, say, $80 to $120 to take a family to Stampeders games is pretty significant, if those are the cheapest options available. I'd rather see something that is based on a percentage of the ticket cost (like, say, 10% of ticket cost), so adding just a couple dollars to a discount entertainment option, but adding $10 or more once you get into $100 hockey tickets.
