Every time I see the old City officials V League officials V Team Owners, it seems to boil down to the same basic issue.
Team wants new arena. Won't pay for all the costs and want the city to not only stump up money to help build said arena, but give them incentives as well. League weighs in with heavy handed comments and veiled threats against the city. City dig heels in, years of standoffs, threats of moves etc etc. This is a complete mess and its hard to see a way forward from here.
Oh and anytime I see an team/league v city debate, I always think back to this:
