A couple more pre-amble tweets. 

@rjmackinnon #yegg councilors will be rocking cowboy hats today, it seems. Stetsons sitting proudly at all their spots as they arrive today. #yegarena

@dirklancer Dear #yegcc, this may be the vote you are respected for 30 years from now. Will #yeg still be paying? What will we have given up? #yegarena

@AKA_Base Today #yegcc votes on #yegarena time to find out if we retain or begin to shed the nickname “deadmonton”

@greggbeever IMO the best journalism on #yegarena has not come from @Paulatics or @dstaples but from @JasonGregor who is suprisingly unbiased.

Okay now for the big show.

@Paulatics It’s also a big CFR day down here - there’s a cowboy hat in front of every councilor, and many are sporting rodeo red. #yegarena #yegcc

Explains the cowboy hats sitting at every City Councillors seat.

@yegmotto PREDICTION FUN TIME: #yegarena will pass 8-5. Simultaneous booing and clapping in #yegcc chambers. Twitter implodes.

@doug_organ I voted for Mandel, but now am embarrassed to see politics as usual: Katz contributed to Mandel’s campaign, gets back scratched w/ #yegarena

@rjmackinnon Woman wearing #oilers jersey sitting beside me at #yegcc. #99, as in Gretzky, not the dreaded 99 per cent, thankfully. #yegarena

@TimAdamsCBC #yegarena Back at it again this morning. Hearing lots of predictions on how arena vote will go today. Common guess is 9 for and 4 against.

@1791bpc #yegarena Might as well break out the horse and buggy if this deal falls through.
