To the point of why not spend the kind of money needed for a new stadium on IW is simple. We don't have it! we still do not have the money we need to build a new one and with all our other growing costs cannot really afford anything so a lesser investment is better than looking to put money we do not have and cannot afford into such a project.

Dont forget we have promised to rip up our farmlands for warehouses so we need to service that, pay for flooding expressways, fix infrastructure, clean up the West Harbour lands so they can sit and rot for another decade or more, invest in housing to get people in need off the waiting lists, invest in our ailing transit that so many terms of government have left underfunded and therefore our city underserviced, we need to invest in gaining fairwage sustainable jobs IN the city rather than sprawling out of it, we have to serive the new meadowlands housing nightmare and similar pointless projects, prepare for the fallout from US Steel, etc.... we have much to deal with that are so much more important than a stadium!

I hope Marulla wins this one.
