That bid's budget accuracy and realism is very very much the problem though.
They can't even tell us who would cover overruns that may be 18% or could be far far more by the time 2026 rolls around.
Not to mention that the infrastructure proposed to be the "legacy" of spending 6 billion dollars, doesn't address 2 of the biggest things this city needs in regards to sports facilities. That's asinine to me.
Though even knowing ALL that, I am still hoping there is true clarification by BidCo on the known issues that allows me to change my mind.

Well a few things. I would say neither 88 or 10 would be close to the reality of the budget games they want to put on combined with the fact that the bulk of the facilities exist. So you're renovating which is much easier to cost estimate.
Also, it's 4.3 Billion and does include some much needed facility upgrades, a field house, and also leaves the door open to getting a new rink built.
