It does hilight though why don't really want to own an arena in the first place...you're the one left holding a pretty expensive bag at the end of it's life cycle.

Yeah, the business of sports has become so broken. 600 million dollars for an asset that you expect to be worth negative 25 million in 30 years. What private entity would ever make that investment?
One day the continent is going to take notice and wonder why this is all necessary and if it really has any benefit to the public or even fans.
