    This is good timing..... When TO councillors or others complain that it's too extravagant to spend that money on .... Show them what we could have .... Sigh....... Boy are we cheap.

    Here's a suggestion, this should be posted in the CFL forum, since this has nothing to do with the Argos in particular.

    That Regina stadium looks good. But they do have the attendance to justify it. Turns out that BMO will have just been built to put an ass in the seat.

    LOL, but the center of the universe doesn't want to waste this kind of cash on a tier 2 league that properly managed and marketed would have access to five million or more fans. Riders fans deserve this.....

    I wished the stadium was built in my backyard but I guess it makes sense to keep it in Regina.

    That stadium can't come fast enough. I'd rather have BMO than the relic from the Roman Empire we have now.

    What is that comment based on? They are the model CFL franchise and will have no trouble selling everyone of those seats
