Mahendra,

Canada’s only permanent theatre-in-the-round was hollowed out like a pumpkin nearly four years ago.

Work crews removed thousands of kilograms of concrete. They added reinforcements and new features.

More than $40 million later, the Globe Theater in Regina, Saskatchewan’s largest professional theater company, is almost ready to reopen.

Camp Nou renovation gets major boost

Mahendra,

The time away from Camp Nou during renovation has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Barcelona. It would have been ideal for their path ahead in the UEFA Champions League. However, the Estadi Olimpic, which can accommodate 50,000+ spectators, looked like a perfect substitute.

But Barcelona’s finances have taken a major blow, and their results have been disappointing. To make matters worse, few fans are willing to drive the additional 6km to see the games.
