I mean, if I had a bent against a place, I’d encourage them to go build a monument to hubris. The bigger the better. I would encourage Saskatoon to build a North Korea-like stadium for the Blades. Then I would chuckle as they tried to feed their white elephant. Oh sure, the propagandists would point to their super stadium as proof of Saskatoon’s ‘world class’ city status, but they would secretly know that Saskatoon is Saskatoon deep down. (Not trying to throw shade here, just using the mentioned example). Now, if one were to deal with realism and encourage the city to build a right-sized area for the foreseeable future, that would be prudent concern for the taxpayers of the city.
Then I would buy a ticket to a Jets game and feel satisfied regardless of whatever some other city does.
