And no, its not just a stadium. It is a year round facility that can be configured to host arena events, so in essence its a faciltiy that can host a much larger array of events than the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, you know, the one you guys built downtown.
And after reading your comments earlier I decided to take a little google trip through the forks for a little perspective. First of all, what is with those large parking lots on waterfront Drive, I assume its for the train station? Thankfully you won't see any large parking lots like that in our new development. Secondly I see alot of greenery, lots of pedestrian friendly areas, a hotel, some residential, a couple museums, some retail, overall a very nice urban setting. Like I said already, take away your two museums and replace them with the indoor arena/stadium and you get basically the same type of development.
ps..... at the conclusion of my very enjoyable google trip I decided to take a turn to the north part of the forks along Waterfront drive, and what did I see, a baseball stadium with parking lots galore. So I guess your 'Forks' analogy only pertains to football stadiums, not baseball stadiums lol
