Why does everyone think that a bleeding heart billionare will swoop in and pay hundreds of millions of dollars for a team to play in one of the oldest buildings in the league without assurances of a new building in it's future? Quebec City has passionate fans and would fill the old Quebec Coliseum but they still would never get a team unless they build a new arena. It's the economics of professional sports in this day and age that facilities are as imporant as the the product.
