Just ask Hamilton, the home of Copps Coliseum, built so long ago that it is obsolete.
Now another backwater, Quebec City, is getting its very own empty arena. This is cut and paste from last nights CTV News:
LISA LAFLAMME: Quebec City is going to get its state-of-the-art hockey arena after all. As for an NHL team, well right now that is a long shot. Today the city and the province announced a multi-million dollar deal to construct a veritable ice palace worth almost half a billion dollars. Now as CTV's Daniele Hamamdjian reports, they're doing it without any help from Ottawa or the private sector.
Yes, La Belle, the province that has the most expensive and the most empty baseball stadium in the world, is going to pay for its very own empty hockey rink all by itself.
Shrewd.
