Well the question is what will cost more money, floating the Coyotes or mothballing the arena. You have to consider other impacts as well, would the Coyotes leaving be a major blow to the retail development around the arena? Is there potential to fill the 41+ dates that would be vacated? Are the costs that are being covered costs the city would carry next year regardless of the Coyotes being there?

There's a lot more to be considered than just the dollars being pledged.
