I for one am not.
The debate isn't really who should pay, its how much should the city pay. There is obviously some amount that the city could supply (land or infrastructure) that makes this an acceptable venture - 200 million + land and infrastructure is not worth it.

I for one can't believe there were two pages arguing about concert acts. Of course they're losing out on concerts, that honestly can't be debated nor should it.
One individual concert may choose Edmonton for reasons that have nothing to do with the saddledome, but that doesn't make it every case.
We have a decade's worth of Edmonton is no good topics to justify you don't go to Edmonton unless you have to
