You might be right. But either way, is it about meeting a need that exists or is it about wanting to be seen as keeping pace with other cities? I suspect it is more the latter... Sasktel Place is perfectly adequate for NLL and the WHL. It's a far cry from the Edmonton scenario where the Northlands Coliseum had become somewhat outdated by modern NHL standards.
