Comments I know I am not a politician, nor have I followed this alone for the last 35+years or so (smiling), therefore I am not completely educated on all the layers that there are to such a huge project, however what I do know is the following:
1. That there will be numerous jobs created within the area. They are once again (along with the casino) different jobs (tourism, hospitality, entertainment, marketing, arts etc.) rather than just mainly manufacturing and distribution.
2. With a complex like this and a name like Wayne Gretzy, there will be other smaller businesses created =96 which than means more different jobs in our area.
3. It would be great to have a place in Windsor where we can go to enjoy a sporting or entertainment event.

The list goes on but those are my thoughts in brief. :)

Comments This is an awsome idea. World class by far. Every spits game will be full. Toldo and Rosati are the best for our city and county by far. I hope that this will come true for our region. World class attraction besides the Casino Windsor. I wish you guys the best with this project and with Mr. Gretzky. I am a huge Gretzky fan. I've worked at Gilligans on Walker Road in Windsor for the past 12 years. Lets make this a true thing because the SPITS need a new home besides the old BARN.
GOOD LUCK GUYS!

Comments Great idea, maybe too good an idea for Windsor council to adopt, but lets hope they succumb to a temporary lapse of reason. My one suggestion is to make the arena a bit bigger, 7500 seats minimum. The growth of the area dictates that in twenty years the 6500 seats will be proven to be too small.

Comments I am for this location, and stand on record since the late Mr. Tom Joy first proposed it..

Name Brian Lesperance
Comments I think it's a great proposal. It will take care of the ageing current race track as well as the "old barn". Many people I know and have talked to would go to more Spitfire games if we were comfortable in the seats.
The racetrack we have now is embarasing to our city, I think combining the two would generate more revenue for both of them than if they were to do it seperatley. Lets get it done in the lifetime of the deserving people of this area who have been waiting 20yrs. for action instead of words and mistrust.

Comments I think that this project would be a welcome and needed addition to the city.

Name Mike Foster
Comments It's about time someone stepped up to the plate and decided to finally act upon the wishes of the residents of Windsor and Essex County to have an entertainment complex worthy of our area.

Who better to accomplish this feat than the Rosati and Toldo families --- both historically and totally committed to our communities.

Bravo.

Name Keith Baxter
Comments I have the highest confidence that this project will work out well beyond expectations. Private individuals with experience to build a venue that will last for years.
Way to go!
Awesome sketches. This just goes to prove that business should be left to business people and not government.
When can I get season tickets?

Name Robert
Comments Great idea, but no PROVINCIAL CUP this year. It is like not having the KENTUCKY Derby on the first Saturday in May. A commitment to spend some money this year at Windsor Raceway must be seen to horseman for your integrity to the whole project and not just for the arena. Good luck.

Name Amy-Lynn Valente
Comments I think this is a wonderful idea! The Ice Track is a must when we consider how many jobs will be provided. This project should also be supported because of the tourism it will bring to our community. Best of luck!

Name Steve Ramage
Comments I have always felt that a project of this size belongs in the private sector. After all it was the private sector that provided the present Winsor Arena, and it is the local governments which have failed to deliver for close to 15 years now.
Do it, do it right, do it without my forced subscription, and if you do it right, and I can afford the tariffs I will support you just as I supported the windsor arena when Mr. Bendo was the owner.

Comments It's about time. What a great concept. Perfect Venue. Perfect Location. Will definitely purchase season tickets. Keep us updated.

Comments I would just like to say that as a La Salle resident and mom of two young boys I think this project is an amazing addition to a much needed cause and community.

What a great possibility for our boys and the whole community to enjoy what other communities have been able to enjoy for decades!! A wonderful proposition and idea! We wish you continued success and luck with this exciting project:)

Name Dean Lawson
Comments Whatever stops the Vollmer Recreation Centre. This is how a complex should be structured. Project Ice Track really gets it(to make a profit and benefit citizens, not drains the tax payer's resouces.)

Name Jessica Courtney
Comments Love it. Love the idea, love the plans. Growing up I have played female travel hockey for over 10 years (I am now 19 years old), and it is obvious we are lacking a solid arena in the Windsor-LaSalle area. (Who knows with the Vollmer Recreation Centre..) My grandfather has also raced horses for I'd say at least the last 30 years, so I have spent my Sunday nights during my childhood at the "track". The racetrack has been a mess lately, but I believe it has great potential.

Just wanted to voice my support. I believe it is a great location, a great innovative idea, and I am all for it. The Toldo's have been very active in the community, and I must say if the building is anything like the Toldo Health and Education Building at the University, wow will it look great.

Please send me updates if you have started a mailing list.

Comments This is a must do project, it has all the makings of a win-win for everybody involved, most importantly the people of essex county. This Facility will play a big part in the revitalization of this city as a Hockey Town and with the Wayne Gretzky name on the Restaurant, this will be a huge Draw for tourist.
The Location of this proposed project is the Best there is in the county, with the RacetracK, slots and a preimer golf coarse next door. right next to boarder crossing access roads and away form downtown traffic.
As for the Team of Rosati and Toldo, their Long history of doing quality projects in the city of Windsor,specks for itself, and their track record of giving back to the city, looking out for the people of windsors best interest speaks volumes.

i had better get my spitfire Season tickets now,because they will be in big demand when this project is unvailed.

Name Dario Silvaggi
Comments This community needs this venue! The concept along with its partners will provide the people in this community a place to watch great sporting events.

Name Mrs. Maria Bortolussi
Comments I think this is a great idea... to have something like this in windsor... there will be alot of parking space and that is what they were lacking in windsor downtown... I think that there would be more people going to the arena if there were more parking spaces... for the people that do not have vechiles especially for the seniors there can be a shuttle bus... I want to take this moment to say tahnk you to the Rosati and the Toldo Family in helping out... thanks again... all the best... Maria

Comments I am looking at the full page advertisement for the project in the Wednesday, July 26 edition of the LaSalle Post. My family has resided in the Town of LaSalle for the past 17 years. A project of this nature so close to home would be wonderful, especially is there is no cost to the residents of the City of Windsor and the Town of LaSalle. I can see my family utilizing this new facility. I look forward to further news of the ICETRACK. Sincerely, Manya Nolte

Name James Campbell
Comments I like this project, and being a resident in the Riverside area, I have no problem commuting out to the raceway area to watch the Spitfires. Windsor Arena needs replacing, and the area needs more ice pads. HOWEVER.....if the Spitfires are not the main tenant, then I give this project a resounding NO. Not interested in AHL, as long we have the Spitfires, who are the community team.

Name Cathie Janisse
Comments Way to go guys!!! Looks like an awesome proposal. I'm rooting for you all the way. Good luck Pat, Chris and Tony.
