If the price of oil doesn't go back up then there's not much of a hope of getting much of a contribution from the government. And I mostly think subsidizing owners so they can build more luxury boxes the average fan won't ever be in, and charge more for tickets, while having fewer total seats, isn't very good value for our tax money. I'm for contributing a little tax money, but we shouldn't be paying for the arena. I don't see a new arena for at least 5 years and probably closer to 10. Of course having a successful, championship team would help expidite the process.
