Bettman also said the Dome will soon be the oldest arena in the league- 10 years older than the next. I didn't realize that was the case. The group sitting behind me were opposed to an arena if it means public funding- which will obviously be the thoughts of many.

edit- perhaps I just didn't hear correctly what Bettman said, but I just clued in that MSG will obviously be the oldest arena for many years to come. I can't imagine building a new arena in Manhattan is an option even if they wanted to? With Red Wings, Islanders, and Oilers all getting new arenas in the coming years, the Dome will be the second oldest.
