entertainment that brings 20,000 people 3x week, there's nothing else that good for the city. Also better concerts because the new building will attract better performers. This is huge for the city and worth the government spending.
The dome is literally crumbling, we need this. We don't build and flames leave and the city and province eventually pays for an event Centre in full because the city will still need an arena.
