All the crap in between is posturing and public negotiating by both sides....hopefully KK doesn't pull a Katz and have himself seen in the new Quebec arena and hopefully Nenshi can scratch more out of ownership than Edmonton did.
The only real question is will it be 3,4 or 5 years until I am picking seats.

Really? Because 2 of the 3 levels of government have already said no funding to this types of projects. Any provincial funding would raise major criticism from Edmonton as they didn't get any.
The city used funds given to it by the province but no direct money came from the province. This money that Calgary also received but used to fund other things.
