You actually use LOL. OK then.
Ya, 1976 is a very long time ago. But 2006 isn't all that long ago and that's when Montreal finally paid it off.
There are stadiums in Canada that aren't even 10 years old that have no tenant and are nowhere near being paid for. Abbotsfords arena has been nothing but a huge money pit for the city. The Medicine Hat Tigers want to move. They have been in the new building for ONE season.
Building a new stadium isn't anywhere near the slam dunk of a good investment that you seem to think it is.
