BTW on the subject of our local Tribes becoming involved in a solution, I think that's absolutely wonderful. This is the local financial clout in our area as the article alludes to. We may not have any large corporate HQs here. But we do have a number of local tribes swimming in $$$. If they can come up with a solution and the MaGoofs are serious absout making this they're home, then hopefully a deal can get done. But I still think the arena belongs DT. Look at other cities that have built their arenas downtown as opposed to those who have bolted for the suburbs.
Would we prefer this arena to be more like Conseco Filedhouse or the SBC?
Conseco is one of the best (if not the best) basketball arenas in the league and it's a downtown arena that works well.
(Of course i think the issue of a downtown arena here is dead and buried). We're going to be lucky to get the arena built in Natomas.
