It's official...
Mayor Regis Labeaume of Quebec City says the $400-million arena project they've been discussing is going forward with a completion date of September 2015 and should seat 18,000 or so.
The folks at Quebecor met a deadline of March 31st to get the naming rights of the arena that doesn't exist and get to manage it when it's built. Labeaume was asking for matching federal funds (as you see below), but in the interim it's on Quebecor, the province, and Quebec City to fund it...
Somehow...
Here's an interview CBCNN's Heather Hiscox had discussing the idea a few months back...
And here's Sportsnet's experts discussing the matter as well...
Marcel Aubut is quite a confident man... isn't he...???
But there is some fine print... if a franchise shows up, Quebecor pays (about) twice what they would if one never shows.
