Doubt that happens. No arena leaves a large hole in the City’s redevelopment plan for the area. There have already been several private deals based on the arena although I suspect most are conditional.

But given everything going on the public no longer has any patience for this. In the short term the reaction likely is no one cares.

Both sides are at fault but it seems the mayor could not wait to tweet as soon as she got off the phone with Edwards. Weird. Maybe she’s a bigger narcissist than both Nenshi and Edwards.
