Period pain testing, now this. This week is not painting a good picture of the Calgary Stampede.

Have you ever been to the Stampede, Muthafucka????

The land in Vegas was probably costlier (not sure if that's counting into the construction costs on both).

But generally speaking construction labour costs more today, material costs are definitely higher and then there's the technology that goes into these places, stricter codes regarding environmental impacts etc., amenities, all of that.

All in all the big jump was going from cookie cutters and true "arenas" in the 60s-80s to the modern definition of event centres and sport-specific stadiums like ballparks and football fields.
Yeah it all makes sense. It just seems that they went from a couple hundred million to over a billion quickly. Stadiums at least.

*Its on a cove where a giant "waste to energy incinerator" is, so its debatable if that liquid can be considered "water".
As I understand it, the decades of work there has turned the "water" from crunchy to more chewy.

Actually I think it's 1980. Let me double-check.

Edit: 1980 it is (player names match up for the Wales Conference)

I'd put AM as 75% gone regardless of success and 100% gone if these fucks can't putt their asses out of the first round. Leafs are going to have to make some serious decisions next summer.

Keller is the third best player on that list and I can't believe he's still in fucking AZ.

"The thing that bothers me and some of the things I've read is people are upset about Tony DeAngelo," Tortorella said. "Tony DeAngelo's a hell of a player, Tony DeAngelo has personality. Is he going to say and do some stupid stuff? You're damn right he is. But I'd rather have a guy doing stupid stuff than having a choir boy here just going about your business. You don't win that way, you don't win championships, you don't build a team without any personality. Tony's going to bring that and, plus, he's a hell of a player.
