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.

I did do the research and my post was correct in regards to correcting the poster that was of the belief that CSEC was going to take the city's $200 million for the fieldhouse and build a $200 million CFL stadium with fieldhouse. Surely you can see that no? Not exactly sure what you are getting at here as a large basis of their funding for the arena is also ticket tax money which is considered a CSEC investment through a user fee. The CRL applies in some aspect of the total overall package but it's a movable piece and not fixed with the fieldhouse or arena.
