Hey,
I live in Edmonton and love the Oilers plenty, I agree Rexall Place is an outdated eyesore which seems overcrowded even at half-capacity BUT...
I dont see any reason why my property taxes should increase 65% to pay for it. Everybody knows Katz is extorting the city with thinly vieled threats to move the club unless the public builds him his new 1/2 billion complex. Which he would own, Filled with his businesses. WTF? Seriously ?
If you are an OIlers fan who lives in Moncton NB I understand saying "Build it, thay are rich in AB" Reality Check time, It doesnt work that way. It comes out of the pockets of Edmontonians, like me, who cant afford to pay $100 to go see a game often enough as it is.
Oh please, oh please, make me pay for the privledge of the the owner blessing us with his commitment to not move the team... for now.
In case you couldnt tell, I was bering sarcastic. Well Duh.
The building needs to be built - why the F*ck isnt the billionire paying for it ?
That is the real debate. |

The real question is how often do billionaire businessmen willing to contribute $100 million to an arena in Edmonton come around and would you be stupid to squander the occasion? |

Is that number accurate? Is that the proposed property tax increase strictly to fund the new arena? If so I think that is understandable to be against it. |

Because billionaires don't need to pay for it. With all the new towers going up around the new arena district people need to realize that this isn't just about an arena. |

Has the province committed any money? We don't hear the debates you guys have down here, just the news updates (like the $35 million over budget). Outside you guys, how do "regular" Edmontonians feel? |

From what I gather they won't commit directly to the project, but there is a fund that we can take the money and use it for the arena. |

What fund? I volunteered for a non-profit group who buit a rec center in North Calgary and getting money from the province was like asking Lindsay Lohan to give up blow... |

The issue is that fund pays for things like school, hospitals... things that are under provincial jurisdiction to provide but cities to deliver. People (Edmontonians) don't like that idea one bit, but they can't see the forest from the trees. |

We hear nothing about a new arena down here. I'm sure there are backroom discussions but nothing public... So is it actually going to happen? |

I can't remember what it's called, but there is a fund that you can apply for on these special projects. |
