Good point on the second.

You are suggesting STHers pay for the entire thing, which is far more ridiculous.
Why do you care that there is an arena if you don't go to games? The answer, I would assume, is because you are a fan and enjoy watching the games and cheering for the team.
Do you not think there is any value in that? Do you not think you (and all fans) should contribute something?
I ran some numbers at one point - I can't remember the amount of city contribution I was assuming - but it worked out to about $15 per person per year.
I that unreasonable? Should STHers pay $50 per night, every game and event for 20 years, while everyone else pays nothing?
Edit: wrote this before I saw your last post. It isn't a question of whether that $50 is affordable to STHers or not, it's a question of what is fair and reasonable.
