The Aud

I imagine most would agree that a new arena should be closer to the core, but it seems a stretch to label a location selected over sixty years ago in what was to become an overwhelmingly car-dependent town a "critical mistake".  If I try to imagine the post-war form of Kitchener, I'm not sure where space would have been found other than what was then the edge of town.

That's easy: just take any old block and demolish it! I mean, they did that for parking lots and malls, so why not for an arena? That said, I agree with your point.
