Yeah, its has gotten sticky but the issues with the city are them being upset the deadlines for things like financial credits were being missed and they had to give extensions. Remember it has been 8 years and there is basically nothing done. Last year it got to the point the mayor was about to lose his mind and a final extension and new deal got signed. The city really hasnt had much to do with it since intervening when things started to get away. The original deal gave all sorts of money to the team if they hit deadlines and also full control of the area.

To replace Travis Willimas the Penguins hired a guy who used to be on the other side of the aisle in the development. He worked for the city on a lot of the development deals. That really says a lot to me.

I am sure the city is not innocent 100% its just that the deal was cut 8 years ago with deadlines for progress that were not met. If I had to guess if he had done a better job here he would still be at the Penguins.
