New stadium?

Question

Well I read an article a while ago about Winnipeg getting a new stadium. is this still going through? also when will the renovations to molson stadium be completed?

Answer 1

I read a couple of articles about a proposed new stadium for Winnipeg.  One of them featured an outdoor stadium with partially covered seating areas, the other one featured a domed stadium.

The renovations/expansion of Percival Molson Stadium are to start ofter the '08 season and are supposed to be completed before the start of the '09 season.

Answer 2

The article at the site below suggests that the new stadium deal with David Asper involved with ownership of the club as well, is close to being a done deal.

I'm not sure about the status of Percival Molson Stadium reno's in Montreal, I'll have to check the web and see what I can find.

Also, just reading this morning that Ottawa is very close to being back in the CFL starting in 2010, which would be great especially because Jeff Hunt would be involved.  Article:
