The funds will be paid quarterly over 10 years to the city in an agreement reached between the city, credit union and the Windsor Spitfires – the main tenant of the sport complex.
The current arena offers a suite on the glass that seats 30 fans for $1,200 per match. (Canada, Facilities, Financial, Ice HockeyMinor, Professional Sports)
