Still seems sad that these old buildings have to come down. We lost some in Saskatoon that I will always miss. The old Arena Rink that was sometimes called the barn. Another was the Jubilee Building Dad and I used to go to for the summer fairs.
These old buildings aren`t viable to save or have asbestos/ dangerous materials in them but still miss this part of my childhood. Apart of my past dies alittle with each one.....

Yeah, she came down, but not without a fight. It took them about 4 hours AFTER the implosion to take it down. I'd have liked to see it, but gettin up @ 5:00 to get there, I don't think so.
What I don't understand, is if the city has always had intentions of trying to regain a NHL franchise (which as cool as that would be, is financially impossible. The city couldn't support a team with a $12M payroll, how can they support $32?), why did they build the MTS Centre. It's a nice arena and all, but about 3000 to 4000 people too small for NHL hockey. Even if they sold out every single game, which is a pinch over 15,000 people, they would still be in the bottom third for attendance in the league.
