But this is why there’s literally no better time to do a proper tear down rebuild right now.
I know multiple people with season tickets who have acquired them recently simply because they want to ensure they have dibs for the new arena.
They are not forgoing their tickets because the team sucks. They want to be ticket holders in the new building.
So this year, next year, and year one of new rink.
Three seasons where ticket holders are locked in no matter the results of the team.
