Excited to see the design. I wonder how many people will pipe up thinking the concept design that was put forth 2 years ago was the approved design.
Now let's see if PCL can come in on time and on budget.
PCL can come in on time and on budget
hahahahaha
Prepare for your city taxes to increase a little more to cover this overrun….
Conceptual stadium design, old overused crinkled wrinkled looking hospital bedpan, that was a waste of money. Final design would hopefully be a more aesthetically architectual pleasing facility for all to be proud of long term.
It's been over a year since they announced they're building a stadium. If it took a year to decide who's designing it, it'll take a decade to build it. Not one bit impressed. This is a joke.
What are your qualifications to say that? Typical internet warrior? Do you understand anything or just shooting from hip?
Learn how the world works. It's a 270 Million Dollar job. Considering the value and complexity of the project, they've actually selected a firm in an appropriate time frame.
Anon #3… It took this long to build my new house. So if you expect a 278 million dollar facility to take the same amount of time as my $475K house. Your out of your fricken mind. Get a grip already. Dont be one of those inbred Saskatchwanites that Winnipeg always speaks of.
What gets finnished first the new stadium or centre point plaza at Vic and Albert.
I wouldn't be surprised if Saskatoon has a finished CFL stadium before Centre Point is complete (about 2040).
I'm sticking with my previous prediction of Regina's new stadium not being ready until 2020, but at the moment it is currently on schedule.

Is there a final design complete with blue prints and specifications? Is it possible to prepare a cost estimate or tender for bids without them?
PCL and its partners have won the bid to manage those activities. i.e. HKS will design, then PCL tenders out and manages the construction.
Brat T, rents and makes 15% on his investments. He knows construction.
I haven't checked yet, did Novak do anything crazy after announcement ?
Commenting on the finish date right now is pointless. No one knows anything. I repeat, NO ONE, so please shut up!
