Compare tickets for a game in Toronto or Montreal to a game in Florida. I remember being in Florida on March break and you could go see the Panthers for around $30 and you got a drink and hot dog to go with it. I realize there is a lot of money behind this project in Las Vegas but it's the fans that need to be behind it in order to succeed.

I think what held back Quebec or any other Canadian city right now is the Canadian economy
