If Surrey wants to put on its big kid pants and compete with the CoV on events, they'll need a venue in their downtown. Plus the CoV gets on just fine with 4 stadiums/arenas larger than the Langley Events Centre, I'm sure Langley/Surrey (which already has more people than the CoV) can handle two. Doubt it'll happen though.

And no I wasn’t referring to the crazy stadium proposal from earlier this year. I was referring to the arena study that called for an arena of 5-10,000 seats. |
Yeah the old Surrey City Hall surrounded by parking lots, it was in the physical middle of the city though, so for a car dependent suburb it made sense. There was a bit of an uproar when it was moved, since it made for a longer drive for South Surrey/Cloverdale residents.
Curious to see which study you're referring to? Can only find these articles and they're more back-of-the-napkin proposals than actual studies:
