After the proposed Domed Stadium for downtown Regina fell through this past winter, Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco has come up with a new stadium proposal. This time the private sector will be footing 75 percent of the bill for construction costs, though it has not been revealed yet which companies are stepping up to the plate. Public funding will round out the remaining 25 percent. Earlier this week Regina city council unanimously approved the project.
Now that a stadium for downtown Regina is back on the radar screen, people are starting to talk about this issue again, and people on lining up on both sides of the issue. Does a new stadium need to be built in downtown Regina? Many people are still suggesting that the stadium around Taylor Field could renovated at a fraction of cost of a new stadium. There is still the question of whether the province and the federal government are willing to help fund even 25 percent of a stadium.
What do you think? Should a new stadium be built in Regina, yes or no? Why or why not? You tell us!
