General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[westwardloo]

I would leave the Aud where it is.  Build a new one beside it, and then demolish the old building and put a park and a new baseball/soccer field.  Also the new Aud should be at least 15'000 capacity. (My dream anyway)

This is obviously a different conversation, although I prefer a DTK arena. I think the current Aud Lands could be transformed into an amazing sports and entertainment district with housing, park space, office, retail, an arena (12,000) and a soccer/ football stadium for the NSL/CPL/ CFL/ host big university games (roughly 15,000) look at what the NWSL is building in Denver colorado..... One can dream. This might have happened if Blackberry didn't fumble the smartphone so spectacularly, unfortunately there just isn't that much individual personal wealth in KW right now.  There is no appetite for government funds to go to a project like this though. I dream that sports leaders in the Region could make a push for a commonwealth games or something like that to get serious Federal and provincial funding like edmonton, calgary and hamilton have gotten in the past, but the security costs have made it impossible for cities to host these large scale events now a days.
