i was in ottawa for work yesterday and drove right by the site...it's a fine location.

kanata is asinine. who in their right mind thought that was a good idea?

Original owners. It was always about a larger land rezoning scheme.

The site was part of a "green belt" and the Arena was the catalyst to get a huge amount of addition land rezoned for development. Lots of money was made.

Great location! I lived in Ottawa in the 90s and went to two or three early Sens games at what was then (I think) the 'Corel Centre'. Nice arena, but in nowheresville. This new joint should be great for fans and surrounding business.

About damn time. That land was horribly wasted for the last 10+ years. I'm happy for Sens fans that don't need to make the long trip to Kanata anymore. Driving was horrible. The bus wasn't great, but actually faster to take the bus than wait 30+ min to leave the parking lot.
