There was a bit of discussion about this arena on the Rod Pedersen Show today (it's out of Regina for those who aren't familiar). Pedersen didn't come right out and say it, but he implied that one of the project proponents told him that they're aiming pretty high here. Apparently the minimum capacity for a NLL team is in the 14,000ish range and they'd be looking to meet that standard.
Take it with a grain of salt if you want, but Regina is looking at a pretty big upgrade from the Brandt Centre.
