The stadium issue is one memory that will have a long lifespan. But it's ironic that the way Bratina handled that made him look like a leader able to bring resolution to a problem (albeit behind closed doors), whereas on other key files since then he's been the opposite.

I think LRT, the casino, and one-way streets will be the hottest topics. They probably polarize the central city vs. suburban areas the most.
