The problem is that Lansdowne is city-owned whereas these days team owners (who have the money – and these guys do) like to own their own facility. Why would Melnyk (and Hunt) kick in money to renovate a stadium they don’t even own? If anything, it might be cheaper and less of hassle to build from scratch in an open field in Kanata than to try and renovate Lansdowne.

Don’t get me wrong, I am first and foremost a supporter of the Lansdowne site for any major Ottawa stadium, but I am just being realistic here.
