650 million is an over inflated price tag for a new arena in the Hamilton area it is more like to be closer to be tops half that price to be around 350 million for a new arena in the Hamilton area or just completely renovate the FOC. & get another 35+ years out of the arena for about 200-250 million to get it up to NHL. standards .
I would choose to renovate the building just because it is already in the perfect location in downtown Hamilton already with being attached to a mall (Jackson Square) that has a hotel, bars , resturaunts , shops & parking but a new arena might be cheaper in the long run but if Hamilton gets the 2030 commonwealth games who cares because it will 100% Government funded .
$350 million CDN isn't going to get you a suitable NHL arena......it would be bare bones, with no bells and whistles
