A domed stadium at the University of Manitoba

Add Maclean's(opens in a new tab)

The latest planned location for David Asper’s new taxpayer subsidized football stadium is the University of Manitoba.

Asper unveiled his latest plans over the weekend.

The idea could work. A shared stadium makes a lot of sense in Winnipeg; especially if it includes a soccer component.

The province is on board, Asper’s chipping in, and there will likely be a student levy to fund it. (I’m not a fan of the student levy idea, but I see a referendum on the issue occurring and passing.)
