So if/when this facility gets built... it will be larger than the Air Canada Centre? And taller than the Fargo dome? That's Crazy!

Now it looks like the Quebec folks are looking for funding under the P3 program. Why didn't we think of that? :)

Welcome back Migs. I'm glad you reopened the thread, considering this next month will be exciting in the lead up to the announcement.
While I still remain extremely skeptical, it's going to be great to watch how the feds walk this minefield, especially as a potential election looms. Should be great theatre to say the least. |

Will this have an under ground parkade?

I tell ya guys, that is an AWESOME stadium design. I think something just like that seating 65,000 would be perfect for the Vikings. I also think a slightly shrunken version of the 33,000 seat model would be awesome for NDSU Bison football. I just hope both the Bombers and Riders are playing in their new facilties very soon!
Even though I'm a Bombers fan, I have a lot of respect for the Riders, mostly for the reason that a city like Regina (which is basically the same size as my hometown of Fargo-Moorhead) can greatly support a professional sports franchise like they do. My dream is to see NDSU football supported in Fargo like the Riders are supported in Regina. Team colours everywhere, 30,000 fans per game, etc. But anyway, I hope this gets done for you guys. I last vistited Mosaic Stadium 11 years ago (before some renovations were done), and I was turned off by the place. I know there's new turf, scoreboard, exterior, etc., but I know you guys need a new stadium in any case. I hope it gets done. |
grade?
Looks like the proposal is for a below grade field, like the Bombers proposal. Do you know if that is what is planned? If so, that makes a lot of sense.

A report by Equipe-Quebec — a group working to attract the Winter Olympics in 2022 — recommends building an arena. But it also concedes the building would run a deficit unless it attracted an NHL tenant.
According to a study conducted by Ernst & Young, a new arena would bring in $8.4 million a year with an NHL tenant and $7.8 million without a professional club. The cost of financing and maintaining an arena could be far higher. According to Claude Rousseau, president of Equipe-Quebec, the expenses would be between $36 million and $41 million annually, rendering the building unprofitable for a private business. Do we have any numbers for the facility in Regina? If the new arena in Quebec is expecting to run a deficit of $27-$32 million each year, with an NHL team, what type of deficit are we expecting from the Regina multi-use facility? Since it will be larger and more expensive than the arena in Quebec, do we expect that the operating expenses will exceed the $36-$41 million they expect to spend in Quebec? |

And who said applying to the P3 fund was a bad idea? :cheers:

My personal opinion is that the Conservatives really don't care about Saskatchewan's seats. If funding comes through for this project, in my opinion it's because they can't give to Quebec without giving to Saskatchewan.
If Quebec wasn't pursuing a new arena, then I don't think we would have seen a dime from the Feds. That being said, there's no guarantee anyone is getting anything. Only time will tell. |
