As someone wit no financial interest in this arena, I'm happy for the city to get a big development like this. Seems like a potentially great improvement to the city infrastructure.

Sharpe headed the committee to revive discussions, Gondek was left out of ongoing discussions.

At that price tag Rogers place is gonna look like a glorified community arena by comparison.

$330 million from province is about two years worth of consulting fees that the province gives to E&Y.
(note: not fact checked)

What exactly is "this". Tons of dough for sure, but I don't fully understand the scope. Have they explained?
If only they had an accountant on hand...

How does $537M compare with the city's old deal, both in terms of $ and scope for that $?

Man after half a decade of this drama I just wish people would STFU about the politics and enjoy getting a new arena. At least it will be fun.

Yikes. $330m from the province is a lot. How do they plan to recoup their investment? Magic?

It literally says the arena costs 1.2b
Which is beyond misleading

I hope someone gets on the phone with the folks at MGM Resorts ASAP to see if they want to be involved in this. I remember they wanted to participate about 10 years ago which would have been awesome. I would love to be able to rack up MGM Rewards tier points locally.

It probably buys some, and loses some. That said, I don't get the sense there are many undecided voters remaining.
The fact that the new arena deal is dependent on an election result creates a lot of uncertainty.

In 2019 dollars it's about $58.
