And the BoG says...nope.
then what?
At some point the Dome needs to be replaced, for multiple reasons. (sooner rather than later at that)
If you actually think the dome is adequate for a city of this size and compared to every other arena in the league, you need to go see some others.
And to bring this all back on point, no as it stands right now there is little chance that the team moves. For now. That won't last in perpetuity however.
Again though, at some point an arena will need to be constructed by someone/group/partnership and without question the city will be a part of that, particularly moreso if they want an Olympic games to come to town. Which they seem quite serious about after spending a good chunk of dough to send 6 or 7 politicians from municipal and provincial levels over to South Korea....which they just announced they are doing.
Do they want the CSEC as a partner in that or would they like to do it on their own? That's where it seems to be at right now.
