Should we be giving 6 year contracts to guys near/at 30?

Pretty low amount. I'd sign Tlusty for that.

As oil goes so does the Canuck buck.

Glendale giving them 2 years to find a home it reads like.

The railings kind of remind me of old Maple Leaf Gardens.

Here ya go... Architect denies responsibility for IGF design flaws By: Bartley Kives Investors Group Field was designed as a warm-weather football stadium that wouldn’t house outdoor concerts, its architect claims in response to a lawsuit over problems with the two-year-old CFL facility. In a statement of defence against a claim filed by Triple B Stadium, architect Ray Wan denies responsibility for dozens of alleged design and construction deficiencies at the venue — and blames the owner for cracked concrete slabs throughout its concourses. Triple B, a shell company representing the city, province, University of Manitoba and Winnipeg Football Club, owns Winnipeg’s $209-million, 33,500-seat football stadium. In a statement of claim filed in March, the corporation alleges Wan and construction company Stuart Olson are responsible for 42 "operational and design defects" that include slopes that drain water into the building, the absence of winterization and concrete slabs so weak they are "a problem for moving kegs of beer." Stuart Olson fired back in May, alleging in a statement of defence Triple B Stadium and the Selinger government rushed Investors Group Field to completion and "knowingly approved a design without regard for the problems" at the Canadian Football League facility. Stuart Olson also filed a cross-claim against Wan, who did not respond to requests for comment at the time. In a statement of defence and cross-claim filed in June, Wan rejects most of Triple B’s allegations and asks for the lawsuit to be dismissed, with costs. The architect claims he designed the stadium under an agreement reached with original stadium builder Creswin Properties and later assigned to the shell company. Triple B took over "without any revisions to the original design for a two-/three-season facility," the statement of claim alleges. "The plaintiff asked for a two-/three-season facility, not a four-season facility, to be constructed." Wan also rejects responsibility for cuts into the stadium concrete and staircases that had to be installed well after construction started in order to allow concertgoers access to the field. "Field-level seating became an issue when the plaintiff chose to explore the use of Investors Group Field for outdoor concerts, which was not contemplated in the original design," reads the statement of the defence. These claims corroborate statements made to the Free Press by former Triple B chairman Phil Sheegl, who disclosed stadium-design issues in 2013. Wan also suggests Triple B is responsible for cracked concrete at the stadium, which he describes as "restricted to the topping or wearing slab only and not the structural slab." He alleges the cracked concrete slabs — which are being replaced over the course of a year at an expected cost of tens of millions of dollars — "is indicative of drying, shrinkage and restrained cracking that occurred during the curing process and is largely a construction-sequencing issue." Wan also claims Triple B failed to submit a list of concession vendors and their loading requirements during the stadium’s design and construction process. Triple B then "ignored the loading requirements and made modifications not contemplated in the design," Wan alleges, "specifically with respect to the location and number of concessions, which has resulted in wear and tear on the surface level of the concrete flooring." Wan claims Triple B agreed to only use hand-operated pallet jacks on the concourse but wound up using heavier, electric-powered jacks. Wan also alleges Triple B made "numerous changes to selection of materials during the course of construction," and states delays in 2010 contributed to what the building’s owner calls a "poor co-ordination of building services" in its statement of claim. Wan alleges Stuart Olson is responsible for some of the water damage at the stadium, due to what the architect describes as the "improper application and installation of the flooring assembly" and the builder’s "failure to properly seal the penetration."

New bridge will be just beside it 9' higher.

That is crazy.

Time to bring back this dead horse well not so much dead but cold n wet. Architect denies responsibility for IGF design flaws http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/318070691.html There are 3 sides to every story and I think this counts as #3.

Its the Federal funding #1 with ND Bakken oil money as #1A. Method and or climate #2.

account required?

Was on it last night and they asphalted it from floodway down past IdC(Ile des Chenes). Looked and felt like the cheapest job ever. Preferred the old road myself.

NHL should have told Seattle to get ready the minute the NBA left.

Peladeau is involved Nice 18k arena though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videotron_Centre

Best reminded of Saskatchewan Place now Sasktel Centre. Per Wikipedia, "...the facility opened in February, 1988 with a seating capacity of around 7,800, It was expanded to 11,330 for the World Junior Hockey Championships in 1990. More additional permanent seating was added in 2008 and 2009. The current capacity is now 15,190 for hockey." Good thing we expanding by 1 row else they'd have more seats

Since he has settled "out of court" you have to wonder if he is coming back.

Have you heard about the wonders of Bing rewards.

On July 4, 2015, Dubnyk, as an unrestricted free agent, opted to remain with the Wild, signing a six-year, $25 million contract at an average annual value of $4.33 million. The terms of the deal were initially agreed-upon on June 26, just prior to his free agent status came into effect on July 1 On July 4, 2015, Dubnyk, as an unrestricted free agent, opted to remain with the Wild, signing a six-year, $25 million contract at an average annual value of $4.33 million.

Well now you bringing up the only bad part of Supe 78. After some pretty good X-Men movies I've always felt like do we really need another version(F4) even if it predated X-Men?

Dubnyk still not taken?

Best thing about the new F4 is that you know it will be better then the last one.

With the season ending in Nov it would not really be needed. I just know in January I'd rather be in the FargoDome then IGF. And they only built it for 60m which was pretty good for the time.

Its not really about having team its about building something for an igloo climate. You can use the Fargodome in winter, not so much the one here.

You spend millions of dollars and water down your market on the chance you might need be seats thirty years down the line? Why would the jets need three thousand extra seats? If demand grew even more they'd raise prices. Instead of IGF, they should have built a 65 000 seat domed stadium in case Winnipeg is granted an NFL team. Plan for the future!! Sarcasm aside you can't build a dome, MTS has covered stadium rights. Besides Fargo beat us to it. Freaking Fargo!
