Sort of like that adage - I am from Head Office and am here to help!
As a born and raised Calgarian, watching this from Las Vegas... WTF... SERIOUSLY.

These are BUSINESS DECISIONS. You are a sports franchise worth $410,000,000 USD, and you cannot find land and a contractor to BUILD SOMETHING?

I have watched billion dollar buildings go up all around this city (Vegas), if private industry wants to exist, it needs to shut up and find a way to do it profitably, not cry like children because they cannot get a loan from mommy and daddy.

The VGK and T-Mobile Arena had no financing. The Raiders do, but should not.

This is just a lousy way to negotiate a deal.
Pfft... Seattle. Really? Again? Didn't the same thing in 2012? Are we better than Edmonton?
