As far as @nenshi was concerned, he feels negotiations hadn't reached an impasse and were still ongoing.

Arena price tag proposed to be about $550 million. Cost break down loosely split a third apiece for city/owners/ticket surcharge #yyccc
See....in my mind thats pretty reasonable. For the CSEC to halt talks over that is the opposite of reasonable.

"You get a new arena for less than $200M" and they stamp their feet, throw a tantrum and take their ball and go home?

Somebody needs a 'time-out' and its not the City.
