Am I missing something here, or is CSE just asking (unnecessarily) for a whack of public money it really doesn't need?  |
I have a somewhat irrational love for the dome and will be sad when it's gone but if I'm the ownership group I would want an updated building to allow for better revenue streams. It's already been renovated multiple times but there's no amount of refurbishing that will drag the dome into modernity. Since the stampeders are somewhat needing of a new building as well it makes sense to try and tackle both issues from an economies of scale perspective.
I thought the roll out yesterday was a massive disappointment, was never a KK fan from interactions I've had with him in the past and this pretty much seals my distaste for him.
