Honestly if Katz wants more money from local government then he has to give them something (ie % of revenue generated). If this team can make 15mil a year in Rexal, they potentially can double that in a new arena. At the very least he should be asking for a low interest or no interest loan and pay back the city from the new revenue generated. Amortized over 15 years, it would be a drop in the bucket.
