This is how it should be done. The last thing we need to do is blow probably well over 100 million in tax dollars on an arena for some boring local hockey team and concerts for artists that fell off a decade or two ago. We can barely convince the public that investments in bike lanes and buses is a good idea.
Name me any other local institution/event that regularly 2 or 3 times a week draws 6,000 or more people together for a shared community experience and has done so for DECADES.
