If the rink is well underway, then why on earth would they not stay at Lansdowne for a couple of seasons and then move to Lebreton? (or stay at Lansdowne if their attendance levels out around 6K)

Worst case scenario is them moving to Kanata, seeing their attendance drop and then pulling up stakes. I don't think that is out of the question, particularly when you have someone who doesn't understand the Ottawa market calling the shots.

I think you make a fair point on them having some more time at the current venue and seeing where the attendance trends. I wish them all the best but they are the new flavor in town so to speak.

I want to see Mark Sutcliffe standing over a balcony at city hall touting a big sign that says 1,100 STANDING ROOM SEATS! like Micheal Jackson.

Sorry, I don't think reg season games for the Charge are hot enough to think standing room only is anything to consider. Maybe, I hope so. But I don't think so. I think Charge are like the 67s. It's a family thing more than a bunch of bros mashing beers in standing room only cuz that's all that was available or cheaper.

I spent a good part of a Yankees game in standing room only.. after we ditched our seats so we could all hold counsel in a circle and not talk across 4 people.

Thats the YANKEES bro... not the bloody 67's.

More and more shades of LRT and Jimmy at all times. Heres what you want and or need and your gonna sit there shut up and like it.

I met Tim Tierney once. I was with my client and they know each other since they live in that ward. I was introduced and when I heard the name I literally chuckled, turned around and walked away. This guy got 82% of the vote in 2022. Ottawa gets exactly what it deserves. Time and time again.
