I really wish you would have at least done your homework before writing this ignorant post (see how annoying it is to read that). This statement is incorrect. The balance is funded with a mix of CSEC money, CRL money and ticket tax money.
My issue with the Fieldhouse $200M is that the city gets a relatively subpar facility for the same amount of money. "Subpar" in that they a) don't control it, b) can't use it full time (football, Stamps practices), and c) access, egress and parking is further complicated by arena events. Thanks for the offer, but I'll keep my $200M and go build my own thing.
