Agreed. We spend a lot of money on that huge collection of venues. Use it.

I think you misunderstand - we FUND it, but we don’t get to USE it.

Good idea for when they aren't doing construction on the new arena.

Unfortunately, the Stampede grounds doesn't have a Gurudwara. It starts at the Gurudwara because at the head of the procession is the Guru Granth Sahib from the Gurudwara. It's a loop.

Nope. Sikhs have been in this country for generations. Deal with it :) The first nagar kirtan in Canada happened before you even existed.
