It`s time to get real
The Canadian Taxpayers` Federation`s call yesterday to use revenue from commercial land around Canad Inns Stadium to refurbish the facility isn`t as off-the-wall as some people may think.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers board of directors were proposing that very idea just a few years ago after they signed a long-term deal with the city to use the stadium and the land around it rent-free for 50 years. They even had an artist rendition of what a refurbished stadium may look like on their website at the time, including commercial and retail space surrounding the facility.
