Im concerned about the cities capacity to hold this debt and still finance other projects. Presuming the city fronts the CRL and Ticket Tax plus borrows for the building and remediation you would be looking at 800 billion in debt for the city.
I like the idea but definitely concerned over the financial side. Also concerned that its a fieldhouse in name only as the op costs may be prohibitive for small scale use.
I'd perfer just an arena with no city contribution outside of the CRL and the flames paying interest on the ticket tax. And the province covering remediation
