Expand to Louisville and Virginia Beach

:censored:ing brilliant idea. Expand into a market where they'll be contractually obligated to be the 3rd tenant in the arena behind a men's and women's college team.

Ton of thought went into that one there.

That doesn't apply to Virginia Beach at all.

Yes, but "the proposed arena is an unethical crime perpetrated on the citizenry by business interests" does.

I can guarantee at least one will by 2015.

The Islanders aren't technically moving.

As you may have heard, as per the Coyotes new arena lease agreement with the City of Glendale, the team will be introducing a parking fee for all Coyotes games at Jobing.com Arena this season beginning Sunday, September 15 when we play our first home preseason game against the Los Angeles Kings.

Under the Coyotes parking plan, full season ticket holders will have an opportunity to purchase permit parking in the Coyotes premium lot located on the east side of Jobing.com Arena (Lot G) for $645 ($15 per game). Full season ticket holders may also opt to purchase permit parking in Lot J for $430 ($10 per game). Both of these permit parking options are specially priced for you as a full season ticket holder, and not available for the general public.

If you choose not to purchase the season permit parking, you may opt to purchase parking on a game-by-game basis either in advance or day of game. Lot G will be available for $20 through advanced purchase via Ticketmaster or $25 on the day of game. Lots J, K, A, B will be available for $12 through advanced purchase via Ticketmaster or $15 on the day of game. There will also be a $10 parking option in Lots X and Y. Valet and Limo parking are available for $30 each game.

hope no one minds

But how do you charge for every parking space if you play at a strip mall?

Subcontract the Sinaloa Cartel to harass those who chose to park further away.

They Should Move To either San Antonio, Montreal or even Oklahoma City

Such fine jockular analysis here.

I don't get Indy in the South, though.

You've never been to Central or Southern Indiana have you.

postir pls

St. Louis Rams - Omaha Deer (Purple and Green) [NFC]

More serious question. Is the out clause triggered at $50 million AND 5 years or $50 million period. Because if its the latter, I suspect the Quebecois are about to give Ice Edge access to their finest book cookers. Not that you need a fine book cooker to claim a $50 million loss for Phoenix in one season.

See you in 1-5 years.

#NotHereToStay

#NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said approval of the #Coyotes sale will be pushed to Monday. Votes are coming via fax. Not complete yet.

*usual acronym goes here*

------------------------------------

Oh, and Arizona's assistant attorney general just inadvertently gutted his state's open meetings law to justify Glendale's meeting shenanigans.

BTW, just for everyone's lulz, this is the Coyotes marketing campaign for this season:

I've got to say the cynicism in that slogan is breathtaking when you remember the 5 year out clause.

http://www.bizjourna...ng.html?ana=twt

But two sources familiar with the Coyotes deal say some financing for the sale has either not been finalized or has dropped out of the deal.

Mr. Wembley, it happened again

I...um...HOW?! This deal was so friggin' one-sided that investors were guaranteed to come out ahead I thought.

Of course maybe that's why Seattle just blew up. Can Bettman just retire to that city? The yearning for Seattle seems to solely come from him.

The slimeball commissioners of the "Big Five" are pretty much the last people who should be proposing change in the NCAA, since they're the ones running the cartel that brought college sports into this mess.

Upset that Boise State lack of professional degrees don't get you to the Power 5 table?

OK, how does a lack of professional degrees correlate to the fact that Boise State isn't in a 'Power 5' conference? I think you're making up to piss off Lights Out.

Boise State has only eight programs which award terminal degrees (PhD or ED) with a ninth one for nursing on the way in August, but it an online course. Heck, even TCU, Baylor and Wake Forest offer more.

But it still doesn't answer my question. What does having a lack of professional degrees at a college have to do with the fact that Boise State isn't in a 'Power 5' conference?

Because ultimately at the Power 5 level, the schools do share ties beyond athletics. There are research consortia and academic associations. Boise State's status as a community college with a really good football team, nothing else in athletics, and a medium-to-small media market means its paths to Power 5 status are non-existent.

EDIT: Now, The American really wants to join the new club.

You named your Conference after Bill the Cat. There is no place for you.

For argument's sake, back in the O6 era, even a 50-game season saw teams playing all others 10+ times each. It's not unprecedented.

But when you have 30 teams as opposed to 6....

Besides, what kind of sick honestly wants to see Columbus and Nashville play 8 times a season?

Dear God. What is wrong with the AHL? How can you possibly put a team on the East Coast in the West Division, when nearly half the league is west of Carolina?

My fix. I emailed it to them as well.

I have no confirmation to back this up, but I suspect Charlotte's status as a significant air hub played a role in them landing in "the flyover division."

I forget, is revenue sharing a zero-sum pool or is it variable based on what revenues are taken in, because if its the former, that's horsecrap.

The fundamental difference between Chicago/Rosemont and Phoenix/Glendale (besides the fact that Rosemont is run by organized crime, while Glendale is a form of disorganized crime), is that pretty much everyone in the tri-state area will identify with being from Chicago, whereas lots of people from big suburbs of Phoenix will utterly flip their crap if you use "from Phoenix" as a shorthand for "from Scottsdale" or "from Chandler" or "from creepy para-governmental Del Webb development" or whatever. To that end, it ends up being better to them to say "from Arizona," since most of the state's population is in the Phoenix metro anyway. Glendale, then, in their infinite wisdom, sees it as better to be from Not Phoenix than from Glendale.

I guess if Phoenix is a monument to man's arrogance, the suburbs are monuments to man's hubris. At least something could be where Phoenix is without massive irrigation and air conditioning. What's the suburbs' story?

Also cities aren't allowed to own sports teams, or any other private entity, in the state of Arizona. So that's a no-go on the NHL level and a no-go on the state level.

I think you'll just have to accept that the Packers are a unique case at the pro level Magnus.

Besides, they'd be forced to divest or fold the team in 3 or so years when the inevitable municipal bankruptcy unfolds.

whats the difference between the concept and general design forums ? what type of thread goes in which ?

Concepts are for uniforms and logos that you design. General design is for the unrelenting posting of spam because presumably some dumbarse linked that subforum to a Russian spam server.

With the *s removed

That doesn't work for me. It just makes some screwed up link.

Remove the "s" from the https part of the URL.

FWIW if for some reason the federal government has to intervene in Glendale then it most decisively becomes our problem.

So....the other carrot was a promise to sort of make Glendale whole when the team moves in 5 years. Out of curiosity, does that obligation vanish if you declare bankruptcy?
