I agree wiith George Leblanc on the larger center. Otherwise, if there is to be no significant increase with seating. then stay with the status quo using the Highfield Square parking lot as a snow dump.

don't lose sight of the potential, remember what the budwieser center ( former JLC in London) has done for the city, 9000plus is what we need for an expanding city.

We need at least 13000 seats for any big names to come to Moncton. I worked in the music industry and toured with VH and others and trust me when I say that most big names will not look at you or get out of bed unless 13000 people show up and the venue is large enough for their full stage show. With the growth of Moncton, any less than 13000 we'd be having to build on to a proposed 8000-9000 seat arena in a few short years or risk losing millions in revenue for the city by big bands not wanting to play in Moncton. Take into consideration that if a big name plays Moncton, we would have our population attending plus surrounding areas from Nova Scotia and PEI. 9000 seats is way too shortsighted but that's just the way Moncton thinks....its why a city of our population has traffic congestion like a huge city...because whomever designed the city layout originally didnt have the foresight to build for future population growth. Moncton needs to think big if they want to have the success of bigger cities but I am always afraid that the city will never shake it's small town mentality. Until it does, we will have nothing to rave about and people will not come to our city. What is here except a few old tired attractions? The city needs an enema and a fresh new marketing makeover. It could start with a 13000 seat arena!!

At 7500 seats, why bother at all, just refurbish the coliseum. Glad to see at least the mayor is doing his job

You don't just want a fancy Harbour Station (even though it is a nice facility!) - you should be gunning for ~10,000 seats if you want to attract premier events. Think big!

Moncton is growing every day and it would make absolutely no sense to have yet another small arena!! We need to be prepared for a bigger population.

Build it right, for once have a vision for the future. We need 10 000 or more seats, with curtains to control atmosphere inside the building
