No, I'm not having delusions of grandeur.
The only comparison is that the new Edmonton arena has served to kickstart development in the arena district. While I hope the result will be similar here, obviously the scale of any ancillary development will be proportionately much more modest.
Still, more than one source has stated that nearby private investment could be similar in value to the events centre itself. If so, that will be more than $100M in private investment in the area. The next 4-5 years could be quite interesting....
