I would’ve been fine with any variant of a good deal over the last ten years.
For a myriad of reasons, some within our control, some without, here we are.
At this point, I want the arena. I want the prime riverfront real estate to actually be prime.
I want downtown to be vibrant and thriving.
It’s only getting more expensive. I wish it had been done earlier.
It is what it is.
