Not at all, but the expectation is the arena would service for 20 or 40 yrs. what is stopping them from leaving then? Before we start to say this couldn't happen, take a look back at the mid 90's
Im not trying to start a fight over the flames leaving, just raising the point that the city owning the build is not a benefit at all.
I would much rather have the team own the building and land. 100% revenue to the team and they have an interest in keeping the team here.
