Am I missing something here, or is CSE just asking (unnecessarily) for a whack of public money it really doesn't need?  |
It depends on what the $325 mil refurbishment entails. How long does it extend the operational life of the Saddledome as an NHL arena and events center?
It may seem attractive from a $ perspective, but until you know the full details it is impossible to compare.
