Stadium plan sparks debate on social media
On Saturday we learned the new Rider stadium would go ahead at a cost of $278-million dollars and while the idea was popular with fans leaving Mosaic Stadium, it did spark several questions from the public.
Mayor Pat Fiacco says there is no time to hold a vote on the stadium for those who oppose the plan.
Part of paying the bill will come from fans who will have to pay back a $100 million loan from the province over several years. In order to do this, there will be a four dollar increase on the current eight dollar facility fee.
The announcement brought out some mixed reaction from callers to John Gormley Live and on social media.
