Just a thought... why not extend the lease?

I mean Madison Square Garden is already about 50 years old so there's nothing to say that the new arena would have to be mothballed in 30. Design the building for ease of future renovation and plan a major renovation at around the 30 year mark (with the back 20 years of ticket tax paying for said renovation). CS&E kick in significantly more up front money for it's construction (and in exchange get 20 additional rent free years at the back end).
