I don't totally disagree with you. However I don't believe the arena is something that in and of itself is going to generate jobs, and if it does they are going to be the same jobs currently at the Saddledome.
What we have to hope for is that businesses believe enough in the project that they are willing to want to operate in the same general vicinity. Otherwise it's going to be just as dead around the new arena as it is around the Saddledome now when there is nothing going on in the venue.
