You have absolutely no idea what is going on behind the scenes, and it's painfully evident you've never been involved in large-scale construction projects.

But hey, continue to bitch about the timeframe of a project that isn't being built with YOUR money. Let me know how that works out for you.
That sounds very complicated. Thoughts and prayers to those involved in this...how do they even carry on with life?

Maybe, knowing what is involved in a large-scale construction project, they shouldn't have come out six years ago with an announcement to stakeholders of "start getting excited! Arena announcement is imminent in the next few weeks"! And to make matters worse, doing the same thing numerous times between then and now. Irresponsible. The flood delays are understandable for sure, but the "get excited" nonsense happened years before the flood.
