$140M != $300M last I checked.

Great shot from atop the video board. I noticed the club seats are not in on the west side yet.

I'm curious who you're responding to as I don't remember anyone bringing up a planned hospital.

Winnipeg has the nicest CFL stadium......this will be a multipurpose facility for soccer moms and other uses deemed appropriate by the tax-paying-non-football-fan crowd that may also include football.

That's a nice little fantasy. Winnipeg's stadium was designed by a guy who builds condominium buildings and had never worked on a stadium before. It immediately needed upgrades upon finishing. The concourse space is inadequate for halftime crowds.

Mosaic is being designed by the company that did Cowboys Stadium and Lucas Oil Field.

New Mosaic steals IG Field's lunch money.

I guess since it's all you guys have in terms of pro-sports venues, I'd be boasting NMS hard too

And you are aware that you have a bargain bin version of Centurylink field?

...Only it wasn't a bargain, things like winterizing (in Winnipeg?) were forgotten, and you are still paying for repairs of things that should have been built right in the first place.

Besides the endless lines and poor crowd control, I like IGF. It's awesome that little old Manitoba and Saskatchewan will have two of the best football stadiums in the league. I just don't understand why other cities feel the need to 🞵🞵🞵🞵 on Regina. As much as I dislike Winnipeg or the Bombers, I still can appreciate when they get something good without trolling their forums.

You don't have a point.

Dollar for dollar NMS is comparable to an NFL stadium. It has the same capacity as IGF but cost $100 million more. And it was designed by somebody competent, unlike IGF.

And the end result will show it.

Yah so nobody's jealous of your also-ran hockey team that's never going to win anything ever.

In terms of profile and cultural relevancy the Riders are here ----->

While the Jets are





















here -->.

And the same goes for every Canadian NHL team not named the Leafs or Habs, and even then I wouldn't trade what Saskatchewan has for what Toronto and Montreal has.

Oy mate. As someone who also partly live in the land down under, you should know what city rivalries are all about

The Aussie thick skin is starting to grow on me, his about yourself?

You're right, we aren't getting an Audi R8, we are getting an Audi A6.

Has anyone heard how ticket sales are going for the Rams game? Are a lot of people buying tickets to see the new facility?
