And it doesn't change the fact that the NHL is on the record saying Glendale's arena won't work long term. But lets ignore that little detail. You think NHL is gonna be fine with the team continuing to lose money in an building they deemed not viable. I doubt it. Again we'll see what the new owner does. New arena team stays permanently no new arena team eventually moves.
Read my last post Tommy and then rethink your position.
Ahhh see you did and still don’t get it....
You know WHY the league suddenly said it wasn’t viable, right??
But while we’re at that..... let’s also ignore your own statements the nobody would never ever pay $650 million for a franchise in Seattle. Much less sink a billion more for an arena. PLUS the physical costs of icing a team.
Oh......and I already know what the answer to that one will be. Santa Claus is going to pick up the check.
A new arena in Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe or even Guadalupe (bet you don’t even know where that is) doesn’t guarantee a damn thing Tommy.
The franchise had huge increase in revenues last year. Most they’d ever had (even when they played downtown). They sold a thousand more seats per game..... even when (according to the “experts”) the arena sits on the wrong side of town.
This year they’ve already doubled their weekend package sales over last. I’m waiting to see how it translates because there are no hard numbers to work with. Even though the arena (according to the “experts”) is in the wrong location.
Just like the “experts” have been predicting the Coyotes are moving next year since 2009.
