I can't speak to the finances of the project but the concept is fantastic. Regina would benefit from having a larger arena to replace the Brandt Centre.
I think any of the proposed areas would be fine, but really the Yards proposal would be the biggest game changer. It would revitalize a largely empty area, it would shore up the urban environment along Dewdney tying it more closely into the downtown area to the south, and it would have significant spinoff effects for downtown too.
That said, I am not thrilled with the concept for the area surrounding the arena. Too many plazas and too much wasted space. Fix that up a bit and it will be a winner.
I wonder if Brandt Centre would remain if a new arena is built? Could it be scaled down into a community-oriented venue?
