It would be nice to see some sort of plan or renders on this project.
In addition to losing our 3 Tier 2 tenants for an extended time we are also going to lose prime dates for shows like Disney etc to other markets thinking of spring break etc. No guarantee to getting the tenants or dates back.
Finally on the NHL front we as a city are a long way to meeting basic standards. Case in point during the Centennial classic a lot of NHL staffers stayed at the Sheraton. Some senior staff came in for the weekend and were so put off by the conditions at the Sheraton, actually checked out and took rooms in Toronto.
We need to up our game if for nothing else keep the cities name in the conversation for major events.
