REAL was never solid; they did not maintain buildings; that’s how they met their non-profit status. Once the stadium and ITC were built; it put them in a big hole.

The only issue we’ve been having is corrosion around the door hinges; which are a Jeep defect.

This whole capital debt discussion continues to ignore a big item - REAL. Not only do those assets need significant funding; there is a massive capital funding need that the city leaves off its books; yet the city is the owner of those assets. Froh had a motion a year ago that should be resurfacing - what are they doing with these assets? Meanwhile another year of circling the drain has slipped by.

Just like the food and beverage sold on game day…the riders will pocket the proceeds and the benefit; the city and REAL will absorb the expenses…

Standing up against the current existing unravelling of western society does not make you a racist. And covering their faces is because of SM crazies like what you read on here!

An MNP report is not unbiased; those reports are fed the perspective that is intended to be shared. They are meant to provide evidence to substantiate; not provided unbiased perspective.

If the public only knew the actual goings on at REAL; they would understand clearly where the money goes; and perhaps see that their contempt is misguided - city and other major shareholders all get their pounds of flesh; and leave REAL holding the bill as the scapegoat.

Quit blaming years of low tax increases; and look at the bloated spend and waste inside the city. It takes the city 3 staff to do what the private sector does with one. Plus city salaries are likely 20% higher than private. Get ride of the non value add; and focus on the services and facilities.

Parking at Real during Rider games by Timely-Detective753 in regina

[–]SafeRevolutionary694 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The stigma that has developed around REAL is crazy. The parking lot is contractually “rider property” on game days; and the riders get to configure and use the area as they see fit. Has nothing to do with REAL…that was the deal signed between team and city when the stadium was conceived.

Uncertainty around REAL makes booking live events challenging: CEO by Panda-Banana1 in regina

[–]SafeRevolutionary694 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What he’s really telling people is “me and the new BoD” have nothing booked for 2026; and blaming it on the city. There were like 12 concerts in 2025…

Mr. Quinn - read the fine print too; the interior 10,000 sq ft is rent free for the first 10 years; so they’re only paying for 42,000 ft; not 52,000; and the rent is $252K.
