Build it out there and everyone is either a) spending another $40-$70 there and back for Uber b) driving and not drinking, or c) drinking and driving. Downtown is where you have to build it to avoid losing the drinking crowd...and the drinking while at a sporting event crowd is massive.

Tsuu'tina could just take all the buses that go pick up the afternoon slot machine seniors every day and shuttle people to and from the VLT on Flames buses! Party buses after the games/casino! Heck connect the new arena to the Casino via a long tunnel so I dont even have to go outside after the game in the winter to start playing! Throw in some bars and $0.15 off gas coupons for all season ticket holders at their gas stations and I am sold!
Plus you have a massive Casino parking lot for tailgating in the playoffs!
