Add the 50 000 seats for the 2013 season even more. I dont think a new stadium is far off. The riders are one of the most profitable teams in the CFL for one, per capita the fans are the most supportive, the economy is one of the best performing in north america, and foremost there is the will amongst the private sector and different levels of government as you will see in the coming months.
You folks in Winnipeg can take all the shots you want but the fact is that you spent 200 mil on a stadium that you cant afford and that you will get limited use out of it. Your government spending is our of control and debt is climbing at an alarming rate. At the rate you guys are going you will have a debt of about 20 bill in 5 years while sask will be debt free.  |
Debt free in Saskatchewan? What the hell? Maybe if things keep going at the rates they are, then maybe. But don't bet the farm just yet. The province is still $5Billion in Debt and things can go sour fairly quick in the province....
