What a doozy. Such few details for a project that will have shovels down in mere months. To give them credit Quebec and Quebecor well hell bent on getting this built no matter the loopholes or price tag.

Two key things which pushed this project along are: a) The Coyotes are pretty dead and ready to be shipped, and Quebec sitting with an Arena in waiting will be hard to pass up versus other markets like Seattle or Kansas City, b) Quebec is also hell bent on a winter games bid and in their minds this arena will be a key part of the bid. Hopefully details of financing get leaked out this week as it would be interesting to see how it all got swished around.
