So ya .. they will have to eventually build something, but it's back to the drawing board.<br /><br />(thanks ... tough to keep up with you pros!)cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-62791958099664430382011-02-25T08:06:45.779-06:002011-02-25T08:06:45.779-06:00It sounds like the Rider Dome may be dead, but the...It sounds like the Rider Dome may be dead, but the fact remains that Mosaic Stadium has to be replaced given that it will soon be (once we get our new park and Hamilton's is redeveloped) without doubt, the worst facility in the CFL. <br /><br />I can't blame Sask. for shooting for the stars even if a dome turned out to be a little too expensive. Even if they can't pony up a half-billion for a covered facility, they can probably find $200 million between the cushions for a good outdoor facility along the lines of what is being built in Hamilton, Winnipeg and Ottawa - around 30,000 seats, with room to expand for Grey Cup games and other major events. At some point they will have to bite the bullet given that their current stadium is obsolete.<br /><br />(By the way, great job on the radio!)One Man Committeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586227505412268204noreply@blogger.com
