Where and what kind of stadium would you want if Asper Bomber stadium plans don"t work out?
------------------
My opinion
hmm sounds like a great a football stadium that Asper plans to build my only qualms is it should be built downtown. The city should tell Asper the only way they are gonna give money to build is to build it downtown. And give him a good and comparitive land deal. Much like former mayor Murray told Chipman to build his arena and telling Hydro in order to complete the sale the new office tower will be have to built downtown. Build this stadium is the rezoned and renewed revitilized higgins avenue. I say we should carefully plan this even if it takes 3-10 yrs to get it built in the meantime we can save the money that is for the stadium and invest it in stocks or whatever kind of investment and take it out once we decide on a building date.
Along with that the bombers should have buisiness plan where it would take over the convention centre in this city and build anew and improved convention centre to keep up with new and bigger ones beeing built these days. I believe Edmonton has gotten bigger and I know for sure vancouver has gotten bigger. Wouldn't it make sense to have a convention centre tied in with the bomber stadium for addtional floor space for bigger equipement for example agricultural shows or bigger events that the Mts Centre can't handle. For example the Indinapolis Colts of the National footbal League use there stadium to be tied in with the convention centre. The bombers have to have a buisness model like True North unless True North become partners then it would be even better.
I see only upvalue and potential to be part of many pieces needed to bring downtown to its glory days. Once this stadium and convention centre is built you will see new high rise hotels going up, some residentials going up as well, some retail and restaurants going up also. The whole exchange will cash in from more conventions and game day, Enventually Higgins will be reborn and revitilized because the stadium and convention centre.
While sitting in the stands you will get to see the beautiful city skyline like you do at the goldeyes but in a different angle off course You have the option to boat it the game or convention. The river taxi buisness will pick up and the paddle wheel and red river cruise may as well. All buses route lead to downtown so its easier to not worry about drinking and driving. Again parking won't be an issue as we all know there is plenty of parking dispersed all over the city. As proposed in the stadium there will be 1000 parking stalls.
I would like to see Asper continue with his retail strip mall and have Canad"inns back in the plans for a hotel and water park that was introduced in red river ex stadium proposal.
The one qestion is what would happen with the old convention centre? Good question my solution is turn this building into a hotel/residential and fitness center.
All in all the stadium alone will bring an additional 300 000 more people downtown.
More people,more money more synergy= one great downtown.
