I want my money's worth as well. But if Kerfoot is willing to dish out his own money to build a stadium for his club, and we as taxpayers don't have to get involved financially, I'd be in support of that.
Perhaps BC Place can get other events to come in (i.e. MLB pre-season games, etc) and use the facility? How many events are going to be held at BC Place for this year and next (2010)? I hear it's going to be more than 200 events, am I wrong?
