He added that it now appears certain this phase of the project will not be undertaken for some time. Mr. Baker concluded his remarks by saying that he feels the name of the project should be changed to the Exeter Sports Complex in view of the fact that other surrounding municipalities have their own arenas and community centres to support. He also pointed out that he felt the plans for the new arena are a bit too elaborate. explaining that the p consultants have five dressing rooms planned with showers in each. one. "Possibly one dressing room should have showers, 'but surely all five of them don't need this facility." he said.
