Or do the NHL size arena downtown, I don't really care, not my money lol.

Lets set the record straight. Sasktel was the last of the generic cookie cutter arenas built in Canada. It will not be renovated short of blowing it up and starting from scratch. I have been to many different sporting events and concerts in that arena over the year. Way to cramped for capacity crowds.
It will be replaced by a NHL sized arena downtown, that's a good thing. My taxes will help pay for that, that's a good thing.
