Exactly and I would think that the Success of the MTS centre goes to show that a building of its sort Can actually make some significant money. Enough to pay its own way? I dont know. It would have to be quite the building to pull all the concerts away from the MTS Centre. And concerts make up a fairly huge chunk of the revenue.

And anyone who knows anything about this town, can understand that nothing really gets done without government cash. So that little detail is the coup de grĂ¢ce!

Feel free to tell me the frick off if I'm beating a dead horse here...

Heh...FRICK OFFF.... Razz.. just cause you said I could

But ... i wonder if Leo's ST B deal never included the measley little amount in government money if his idea would have won over Aspers?

I still don't know why the two of them can't work out a deal together.

From what he's said, I don't think Asper wants to own a stadium, he just wants the team, and the polo land from the existing stadium to finance the new digs. And from what was said at the time, I don't think Leo wants to own a team, he just wanted to build a entertainment/hotel complex that included a stadium, hotel and water park.

So, couldn't they both work out a deal, where everyone gets what they want, without taxpayer cash? Add the city's water park cash to the deal, and hey, almost EVERYONE would get what they wanted....yes - no?

I know...pie in the sky.

I reckon that neither of them had a plan that included diluting the profits with a partner...probably never will.
