The problem with this is the money will probably be used to cover raises for our MLAsDeank wrote:We should implement a tax in Winnipeg to cover the costs for something like this.

There is no need for seat expantion of the MTS Centre. Both the NHL and TSNE have stated several times that because of the fact that TSNE owns the arena outwright (no fees to another money-sucking source)and the fact that they are creating an entertainment district in association with the MTS Centre, not to mention all the additional revenues created by other venues played in the MTS Centre to, a 15,000 is adequete for a market the size of Winnipeg and will help offset any potential losses during rough years. These are very smart businessmen who are carefully crafting the PERFECT NHL scenario for Winnipeg, and I couldn't be happier or more confident that this will work!

I don't want my team taken away again perhaps?
