But they don't have the corporate money or the population to even fill the building every night because if they didn't they would just lose their team again in a decade.

we would fill that bad boy every night. Just look at Minnesota. They averaged 11,000 fans throughout their history, until given a second chance with a franchise. Now the sellout the Xcel Energy Centre every single game.
Additionally, there is more than enough corporate support. In fact, we have more major corporations headquartered in Winnipeg than either Edmonton or Ottawa. There is also room to add another ring of luxury boxes, which there is a 5 year waiting list just for AHL hockey in Manitoba!
The Jets are coming back!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABY!!!
