I'm not someone who just said "#### the IOC"; I researched the bid a lot. There were ever changing funding contributions and ever changing benefit arguments.

A field house and a small arena just wasn't enough for a $390 million figure that I didn't believe was accurate.
To see the vitriol spouted by some the yes side towards the no side is really disheartening. This city is not going to die.
