Saskatoon held a public engagement meeting regarding Prairieland's proposed soccer stadium/new parking lot. Included a fancy new video showing off the proposal: https://streamable.com/7k3fpa

Prairieland is estimating 5K+ average attendance for its proposed CPL team, which qualifies as a lol. Only Halifax averaged that many people per game last season; next was Ottawa at a little over 4K per game.

Nice proposal, but I see no justification for taxpayer money to help fund it. If Saskatoon's going to fund any sports-related infrastructure, it should be the arena due to the much higher potential for a positive benefit to downtown. Prairieland already has a sweetheart arrangement with the City, anyway.
