Winnipeg Sun story calling the event David Asper’s soft sell

My take:
Generally positive coverage. 300-400 folks attended depending on which media outlet counted. Many were trying the new larger more comfortable seats that will be installed. (Comfortable wider seats with cupholders…bringing us into the current century in terms of stadiums…mmmm….let me tell the politicians you can spend my tax money now). The event gave the project the sense of inevitability it needed.

Asper said this morning on a radio interview that all work will be in the background now until after the Grey Cup. The focus should be on the team and their on field efforts to get into the Grey Cup and re-energized this city and province even more so about their Bombers.
