A #Yegarena Contrarian's Reading List
What with the most recent clumsy negotiating tactics (see here and here) coming from the Katz Group I think it would be useful to just get some solid, reasoned critiques of this whole process in one place.
+ Mike Otto at The Charrette tells Katz to stop the arena games
+ The Nation has a delightful, well-written and authoritative take on Why Mayors Love Sports Stadiums
+ Alex Abboud takes the $100 million in cash that the city is earmarking for the arena and sees what can really be done with $100 million if you wanted to revitalize Edmonton's downtown
+ Finally Mack Male breaks down why an arena won't be built outside of Edmonton's downtown
Also, I should have something up shortly and I'll update this post when it goes live.
Am I missing any links? Please tell me in the comments.
