Agreement in principle has been reached to build a new NHL arena at LeBreton Flats has been reached between the Ottawa Senators and the National Capital Commission (NCC), the two sides announced Friday.
An agreement has been reached that will allow the Ottawa Senators to build a new NHL arena at LeBreton Flats.
"Today's arena, you need a little more space," said Leeder."This will allow us to have a site we can design around." The new arena at LeBreton Flats would be situated much closer to downtown Ottawa. Canadian Tire Centre is 27.1 km from Parliament Hill whereas LeBreton Flats is only 2.1 km away. "We're not there yet. Architects will tell you to get to your cost you need 30 per cent of design work done. We're a long ways from that.""If you look at the history in Canada, public venues, whether arenas or stadiums, have not been funded by the taxpayer. That's the history, it's not the same in the United States, but that's what we've done in this country and that would be our expectation going forward as well.
