FiddySicks Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 What if I told you that once a Phoenix suburb built a horse racetrack only to understand reason after two years?WOW. When I drove out to California last month I drove right past that and nearly pulled over to check it out because I couldn't fathom any reason why there were giant crumbling grandstands in the middle of nowhere. It's DEFINITELY spooky, and shows just how shortsighted and careless this state is when it comes to public funding. Thanks for giving me an answer! 1 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

TheOldRoman Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It's DEFINITELY spooky, and shows just how shortsighted and careless this state is when it comes to public funding.Not at all, because it was publicly funded. It didn't even have paved roads leading to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 What if I told you that once a Phoenix suburb built a horse racetrack only to understand reason after two years?Except from what I can read in that article, that wasn't funded by "a Pheonix suburb" but a private developer. If it had been a local Arizona government behind it, they'd still be paying to keep it open... Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

FiddySicks Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ahh, I misunderstood then. My mistake. Still a good article, and it totally answered my question on just what the heck that thing was.

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.

Sodboy13 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The RSE deal includes a $120 million loan from New York-based private equity firm Fortress Investment Group LLC (NYSE: FIG) as well as an $85 million loan from the NHL, according to a May report by Forbes.The league, the entity selling the team, is floating half of the purchase price to the buyers, and they still might not be able to afford buying the team. Now I'm not so much interested in the inevitable invocation of the out-clause in 2018, as I am in whether this team's going to end up in bankruptcy court again before that.I still believe RSE's going to close the deal come Monday, because if the league's willing to loan them $85 million, what's preventing them from loaning RSE $170 million? Especially when Ed Snider's reminding everyone about the super-sweet arena management deal he's got lined up.
