Growing culture or not, have other cities or countries put money into purpose built arenas for it, how long have they been up and running and are there indications they’ll still be using that space for that in twenty years.

Not that I think private sport arenas should be funded by govt. but I feel like if you can guarantee your sports team is sticking around for 20yrs in the facility being proposed then yeah, city recoups economic benefit.

Project thread created in 2021. I wonder what's happened to the proponent in the ensuing years?

Oopsie...

The stock market is just gambling. It does not reflect the true value of companies. Never has.

Arlington, Seoul, Vegas, and LA, have all had eSports arenas since 2018. The largest eSports venue opened in China in 2017.

Ontario Creates has had a Esports strategy since 2023.

Well it's a good thing there's no gambling here! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_gambling

That aside, you've been claiming that this thing's just around the corner for over two years now and...bupkis. Why's that?

If and when this dies, the city should take the opportunity to revisit planning for the site along with all of Exhibition Place. If anything gets built here, it should be a use that is active 24/7.

Feel free to share where I claimed that.
I'm sure it will be easy for you if I've been going on about it for over two years.

Right?

There isn't a post, correct. But if your claim that you've not been the hardest booster of this nonsense I'm not sure what to tell you, bruv.

Why follow up a lie with another lie?

I have 8 posts in this thread. One disappointed in the design, two addressing your chirping now, one pointing out that multi use venues downtown are not sitting empty, and the rest talking about the esports industry. Maybe take a walk before coming back with more nonsense.

Why not just build a History multi-use venue and call it a day ?!

Even if esports ends up not being a thing, the mid sized concert/entertainment venue is a project I think worth pursuing.
