And? This is the angle that irritates me the most as a fan. Its akin to fans saying "if we don't have a Stanley Cup by 2026 I'm not buying tickets." The citizens of the city aren't responsible to make sure a private business gets what it wants. If they want to build a new arena, I'm all for it. If they can raise money by adding a ticket surcharge or whatever, I'm all for that as well. But this kind of thing in the midst of a recession and global meltdown of the mainstay for peoples jobs here is asinine.
