The city of Markam approved the financing for the construction of the 20K seats arena today. no provincial or federal money. 50% city, 50% private.

Quebec City better get their act together soon.

I thought QC had announced they were starting on a new arena?

Baie Comeau?

35K people in that city Nope

Quebec is a SMALL market for the NHL, Ottawa is one of the smallest market and the metropolitan area in Ottawa is 1.3M, Quebec is 770K

Glendale 250,000.

But it is the tax payers of Glendale flipping the bill for the team/arena. And besides Glendale is on the wrong side of the Phoenix metro area. All the hockey fans live in Scottsdale.

The problem with the US airways arena is that it was terrible for hockey. It was made for basketball, and some areas of the ice surface could not bee seen on the upper decks.
