Confirmed with Link: Branding, Jerseys, Community Involvement, Arena & Water Street Tampa - Part 4

[LTIR Trickery]

Can't speak to the downtown development stuff, but the 2011-2013, $62 million renovation to the publicly owned Amalie Arena was privately funded by Vinik.

The first wave was, sure. The second wave was absolutely not. I was there.

Ah, my apologies. I didn't realize there was a second wave that was publicly funded. How much did we get stuck for?

You read my mind @Felonious Python

Just to circle back to that credit-building loan idea. I think that there's room for innovation still. Maybe instead of a low appreciation CD, it could be tax-free muni bonds? People, especially younger ones using the service see that securities can be a good investment (which is a service they can matriculate in to, especially with the increasing popularity of Robo-advisors) and their loan money is funding construction projects and stuff around the country. Build your credit...and America.

Making $100 per CD loan or whatever doesn't have a ton of margin, but then they're probably investing the income elsewhere like an insurance company.

Sorry but it pisses me off to see Palat's face up there. Most definitely should be Hedman or Point (I know, he isn't signed yet) instead.

Hedman will probably be on the garage/west wall of Thunder Alley as usual, but whether they put Mac with him or not is the question. I agree that Point needs to be there!

Palat on the wall......Coop's gum chewing intensifies. Good luck Steven

They hopefully are promoting him as a star player so Seattle will take him and the contract. #JediMindTricksByJBB

There are 4 walls plus a parking garage to put faces on, take it easy.

Don't worry, we'll get Puljujarvi instead.

Edit: Point is the main guy on the official website though: Official Tampa Bay Lightning Website

A bunch of Lightning office staff seem to be leaving this week. Best of luck to all of them.

Also best of luck to all of us since HFBolts is replacing them since we think we know everything.

 

[Hoek]

Luck? We don't need luck. The Cup is guaranteed now that I'm in charge!

I didn’t realize that USF decided to ditch the new logo. I was still a student there when it was announced and they started changing everything. I like the Bull U much more than the “new” logo. What a waste of time and money that whole thing was.

I still only recognize the U down south, but the Bulls U is pretty sharp too. Not sure why they got away from it in the first place.
