Don't think anything is rigged. The model was run to solve for an unknown using a possible outcome of zero profit on 10% NPV, which to me is a logical starting point.

I'm happy to run any version of the non hockey related revenue though.

Have seen cost over runs on the building suggesting $600M on a few occasions.
I also think that the 10% discount is too high. I'd like to see it at 5% tops.

Maybe you remove franchise appreciation from the model in return?
