Last I heard, the move to Abby was being put on hold because Aquilini wanted to purchase the arena and its land from the City in addition to the municipally-owned Ledgeview Golf Course (a MASSIVE money maker for the City).
The City said get stuffed, but apparently were open to selling him the arena and its land (if I recall correctly), but Aquilini won't do it without Ledgeview. So it's all or nothing for Aquilini and the City won't give up the golf course. We'll see how it plays out.
Personally, I'd love to see a team back in the empty building. I'd be at every single game when the Heat are in town.
