+1Been planning on doing a Northern sweep for a while. This means I need to plan sooner than later to get up there before the old rink is done. I will try to plan for this coming season.

Yeah, in the three years there's been a team in Flint I think the date of the trip/potential weather negated that idea twice. This year, I decided to cut back on road games/cash expenditures a bit because of the quality of the team. I've got a new AWD ride now though so I can get a little more risky with the weather. Hopefully I can get the fam up there next year and do a Sudbury/North Bay trip. It's probably about the top of my road game wish list. I wanna see that rink in Peterborough at least once too. London's cool and I love the WFCU in Windsor but there's just something about traveling to and watching a game in a rink/town like Owen Sound that I really dig.you're all welcome, come in the fall, driving in the winter could be tough at times.
I would like to have seen the new arena built on the old Baycar Steel site in the south end. The Mcisaac family owns all of the land from the Harvey's south of the 4 corners to Long Lake Road, all the way back to Countryside Road. This site includes a mall on it, roads and sewers already in, restaurants hotels and Highways to the south, east, west and north. There are numerous hotels right next to the site.
AND, the city is growing in this area. 5 minutes to the University and five minutes to the downtown area. This was my pick, but it never even got a chance to be proposed, mysteriously I might add.
There is also no city dump next door either!
Any chance the Wolves push hard to get the construction completed before Byfield heads off to the NHL in 2 years?
Just an opinion . That's allowed isn't it?For a guy who hasn't posted in 3 years, you have a lot to say lately. The concept is a Sports and Entertainment Centre, the Maslack site is a good site, but not enough room for what future plans and growth.
What is the difference with all the growth around Kelly Lake, which is a lake basically for sewage retainment? There is industrial, commercial, and residential all around it. Come summer time has more of an odour than the dump.
The site will be close to dump but there will be a natural buffer zone, at present time there are subdivisions, motel, church, Tim Hortons close to the dump but it is not visible at all, you would not even know a dump exist close by.

If youre standing on the balcony of the 5th floor hotel room, you'll see the dump. smell the dump.
It's disheartening to know people oppose this project so much in Sudbury, I know people in the Sault would kill for a project of this magnitude...god knows our Casino could be replaced
the downtown has been slowly dying as more businesses locate to the Northern part of the city where all the expansion seems to be taking place...largely unfortunate this is happening; our downtown really needs a huge revitalization to save it....the Casino does little to help the downtown other than simply being a presence, much like the Station Mall...the arena does help the downtown businesses slightly on gamedays thoughI have question, the Soo has arena and casino downtown, hasn't really help grow you're downtown?

Hope you guys get it forGonna bump an old thread. Vote to approve new 200M arena downtown comes up in April...
5800 fixed seats, projected opening 2028
Yes, the city needs a new barn. It was reported today that the city figures the cost to renovate the old barn is almost equal to building new. Much of the property adjacent to the existing arena has been expropriated for the new event centre. I will be very surprised if this doesn't pass.Hope you guys get it for
I would not be surprised, the decisions of Sudbury's council have been questionable lately....Yes, the city needs a new barn.
