    you're telling me. Fucking 300%+ price increase on a 2x4 stud is insane. Used to buy them for like 1$2.75 each a year ago, now they are up around $8
    After talking to you about building the backyard ice rink, I looked at material costs as well even to build a simple setup. Holy fuck wood is baller.

    Pretty sure it's cheaper to move onto the lake with free winter ice haha.

    I told you. I wasn't exaggerating in the slightest. materials, wood in particular, have skyrocketed. A deck I would build for Beyonders would normally run around $5k. I doubt I could do it for less than $12-13k now. So for the new arena to say they under-budgeted, I can totally see how that happened. Prices now are not even close to where material costs were 12-18 months ago, not by a long shot.

    I wouldn't expect a lot of lumber being used for the new stadium, but steel prices are waaaay up as well.

    Can we make a stadium from unused pipelines?

    Straight up trade for whatever junior team is in saskatchewan would probably improve our chances.

    A Triwood arena or Knoxville's rebuild would be insane. They don't even make wood beams that size anymore.

    I'm surprised they're not cutting costs by reusing the beer lines and taps in the new arena.
    Can't replicate that kind of history and bacteria.

    As mentioned earlier in this thread, Sask could probably support an NHL team. Just park it next to Saskatoon international airport.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.
