I actually don't think the owners have come out and said anything about the new arena (though I may be wrong)? Certainly they have not said anything to the effect of "we support charities so we deserve arena money". Nor have they made an ask for a huge sum of money, or am I missing something?
All we have so far is Brian Burke being Brian Burke and one journalist's opinion.
