STORIFY: Edmonton reacts to arena deal
With the news this afternoon that the downtown arena is now one step closer to a reality, Edmontonians took to the web to react.
With the news that funding questions about the downtown arena have apparently been settled, Edmontonians posted their reactions on Twitter.
Council passed a deal on Wednesday afternoon that will see Oilers owner Daryl Katz and the city of Edmonton throw in additional funds to offset the $55 million shortfall needed to start construction.
Some Edmontonians still have questions about the deal; others just seemed happy that the debate may finally be drawing to a close.
