I am wondering about things. Specifically about the new stadium for Regina.

Ancient Rome had the colosseum.

Every large city in the middle ages seems to have needed a Cathedral.

The word "infrastructure" was not in use then. But now, as we enter the 3rd millennium every major city seems to need a large stadium as part of the infrastructure.

But, then again, I do not really know what I am talking about because I have never attended a major event in a stadium. 

(I originally posted this in the Politics forum, but it hasn't stimulated any response, so a blog it becomes!)

As some of you might know, my significant other is from Barcelona, Spain.  I have been very lucky to visit the city many times, and each time I am amazed by its public transit.  Many people don't own cars.  It's one euro for a metro/bus fare, flat - no zoning like London or Madrid.  One euro makes TTC's 2.75 look exorbitant.
