Even worse. It's great that Quebec might get the NHL back, but man did they ever go about building the arena irresponsibly.

Love some of the comments in the Edmonton arena article, in particular from Enok. Baseless claims that none of the office towers and condos would have been built without the new arena. Please...

It's too bad it's turning out to be a bit of a disaster. So much potential could be squandered.

in the worst case scenario, I don't care if it costs me 10$/year to fund the arena. life is about having fun, and the price of a Mtl-Qc NHL rivalry is worth a lot more than 10$/y.
go big or go home.

How is it a disaster? Isn't it a bit early to draw such a conclusion?

A walk into Regina's new Mosaic Stadium from yours truly. Video doesn't do it justice.

Congratulations Regina on building something cool. I really am looking forward to going to a game there someday. The atmosphere is going to be second to none.

Video doesn't do it justice because you're swinging the camera around randomly at high speed! Thanks for sharing though, does look pretty cool on the inside, quite the cozy yet intense atmosphere it will be. I'm sure a bit part of the draw the first couple years will be Saskatchewan fans living across the country making the pilgrimage home to check out the new digs.

I thought it was going to be a total fail... took a while for fans to filter in... wind was terrible (saw one sign taken by the wind and fly past me)... but as more signs were held up at the 2 moments, it really came together. Well done indeed. ~25k signs

A couple more pictures from various sources on twitter (though the one above by Johany Jutras, the girl from Montreal making her way across the country creating a photography book along the way - see the her site for more information, was by far the best). Looking forward to getting a copy of that book in the mail when it's done!
