Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

[ijmorlan]

Or we could just avoid the shiny new thing and make the bones of downtown better, causing more developments to start, which increases the tax base, which lets you make it even better etc

I would say that a good concert& sports venue is one of those "bones" that needs to be addressed. Just look at how many bands pass us by because the Aud is either not big enough or does not have modern rigging. and how much more popular with the Kitchener Rangers be with a 15,000-seat arena instead of one not even half that size?

Why would the Rangers be more popular with a larger arena?

(unless the current one regularly sells out with high ticket prices, in which case I withdraw my question)
