When the city was making a bid to have amazon headquarter here, you don't think there were concessions offered? That these concessions would have a dollar value that would be offset by intangibles?
A new arena is going to get done, and it will be subsidized using public dollars. Again, I am not supporting tax payers being on the hook for the building, but its going to happen. The powers that be just haven't agreed on the value of the intangibles yet.
