A Christchurch City Councillor says it would be a travesty if they don't push ahead with the stadium.
The future of the controversial facility will be decided in a meeting starting at 10am.
The lead contractor has agreed to a fixed price, $683 million, for Te Kaha, meaning the average Christchurch ratepayer will initially pay $144 a year for the stadium.
Sam MacDonald told Tim Dower they're in this position now because of indecision.
He says if it doesn't go ahead, Christchurch residents will be disappointed, and re-litigating it may not get them any further ahead over the next ten years.
