No, the arena is not the problem. The problem is that the arena comes with a hockey team attached per long-term contract, and the hockey team is haemorrhaging money. Inflicting the haemorrhage on a different arena wouldn't help, and you'd have a mighty hard time finding an owner dumb enough to take that job on.
At some point, I expect the owners to get permission from the relevant authorities to cut bait and get rid of the Panthers, after which they will move to Las Quebattle City or somewhere. The situation is becoming an embarrassment.
