Well that’s got to be it then.77 percent of submitters want the Christchurch City Council to push ahead with the stadium as it is, never mind the cost. So I’d say that’s the decision made then.Looks to me like the Council has been sent a very clear message. They had more than 30,000 submissions on the stadium.That’s a huge amount of engagement. It’s the highest since the post-earthquake Share an Idea campaign in 2012.And that tells you people care deeply about this.And why they care I’d say is because they’re tired of all the dawdling and indecision.It’s been 11 years since the earthquake. This thing should’ve been built years ago. I read an editorial in the local paper today that said: “Christchurch should waste no more time and get cracking on building such a stadium.”That was written in August 2017. Five years ago. People are tired of waiting for this. Yes $683 million is expensive, and yes it’ll probably end up more even more expensive. If it’s like any other big project anywhere in the country it’ll blow
