Its fine if they reached out to the Flames first to say, we're forming a committee and we might have new ideas would you come back to the table.

Instead they basically positioned themselves to make the Flames look like the villains here.


It looks sounds and smells like the Flames(owners) are the villains here.

Years of delays and promises of imminent arena announcements.

An artists rendering that looks like it was designed my a mildly talented 12 yr old on Minecraft.

Positioned on contaminated land.

On a flood plain.

Around a year after the Saddledome was flooded.

Demanding truckloads of taxpayer money with no obligations.

At the height of a massive economic downturn.

And when the City doesn’t roll over immediately after years and years of delay and procrastination from Ken King who seemingly had #### all else to do, they pick up their ball and go home, refusing to talk to anybody.

The more I think of this situation, the more I think they want this club in Houston.
