2000Cadet Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I can't wait for this to be built and I can't wait to see finals on video. I only wish I will have the opportunity to go to finals during the 10 (?) year stint there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Is this going to be a dome or a retractable roof? Much as i'd like to have the members NOT have to worry about a repeat of 93 Jacksonvile, I'd also hate to see -- or rather hear -- a repeat of the echo chamber from 82 Montreal (although the effect DID aid the atmosphere on the last note of Regiment;s show...kinda like a tomb door closing on Spartacus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle B Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Stadiums are always over budget, for example: Toronto Skydome, original budget $350,000,000.00 CDN. came in at $550,000,000.00 CDN. It was sold to Rogers Communications owners of the Toronto Blue Jays for.....are you ready for this? Sold by the Ontario Government for $ 25,000,000.00 !!!!! That's $ 525,000,000.00CDN less than what the Taxpayers of Ontario paid to have it built !!!! Boy are the politicians in this province ever shrewd businessmen. They actually thought they made a good deal. But doesn't that work out to be only $1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCImonkey Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I wonder ....when Al Gore invented the internet...did he envision it would be used for 24 hr a day webcams that focused on nothing but the progress of stadiums being built? Talk about watching the grass grow :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
