Obviously there's not a huge incentive for them to do so if cities keep bending over, but at some point the NHL will need to work infrastructure into their business model, or start losing out on otherwise solid markets.

Someone has to explain why a downtown facility that can host 300 events a year is a money loser. There's no way to share the costs of something like that where one side doesn't end up raked over the coals and penniless?
