Unless the feds and province outright refuse to provide funding, the event centre is pretty well a done deal. No secret there really, the city has already starting planning for the future of the FW Gardens after the new centre is up and running. The decision to move forward is complete as far the as the municipal level is concerned.

According to the media in St John's(who's team would be moving here of course) and local media too I believe, pretty well every game is sold out with approximately 6500 in attendance currently. I think proximity to Winnipeg must be a big deal. If you consider that by the time the event centre is built though that potentially 12 new mines, new forestry operations and likely new educational and medical developments will have taken place locally or be taking place (if you believe in the growth prospects and potential of T-Bay), it may not be a bad move.
