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.

The Tigers didn't want to move. The problem was having no lease for the new arena. Now that they have agreed to a lease they will remain for many years to come.
