I don't know what the situation in Winnipeg was, whether Canad Inns Stadium could have continued to serve for another decade as it was, or whether money would've been needed for serious renovations if the stadium was not replaced right away.

I think the money they just spent last year on the Grey Cup Legacy project, (seating, boxes, video screens) with just a few million more for new rest rooms and concession renos would easily do us for 10 more years without the phony $100 million that has always been tossed about.
Still I support $278 million for a state of the art stadium, especially since a huge chunk of the cash is coming form users.
