Also, it seems like everyone has a lot of faith in the numbers being bandied about - every government project always has cost over runs or they underestimate - I am not sure which.
And lastly, renovate McMahon stadium - that seems like a massive waste of money. What happens when the $135 million estimate really turns into $210 million. The riders built a new house for what $300 million?

The Riders built a new stadium for $278 million, and as far as I know, it came in on budget.
It's sort of a weird argument to make, since you are saying cost overruns are a major problem, but you also insinuating that everyone should just pony up another $150 million (double) and build something similar to Regina?
