Conceptually, the presentation makes a fair bit of sense (and to be fair KK was clear that this was a high level overview of a very complicated project). Combining the facilities save a tonne of money in capital and operating expenses. A catalyst is required to address the creosote problem, as evidenced by 50 years of doing nothing by the city and the province. The area is currently a dump without this catalyst. Having an urban sports facility is the only way to go (KK called the suburban facilities a death sentence or something similar). With all of that, WV and an ambitious project is what is needed. I am at a loss to understand what the naysayers would do otherwise which would be better. Do tell.
Finally, thanks to JayRandom for his posts. He encapsulated my thoughts (and I suspect many other's) on this.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
