It is rumored Ryan Smith, owner of the Utah Jazz who just got the NHL to sell him the Arizona Coyotes, funded the groups opposing a new Coyotes arena in Tempe. So always ask who is behind actions like these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see what happens. Maybe there will be renovations in 20 years that puts a dome on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome video, but I wish them luck convincing the taxpayers to foot half of the $4.6b cost. And we thought $850m was too much? Pocket change compared to $2.3b in public funding.

TheFunPolice Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 it feels like we're not getting value for our $$ It's still almost 2 billion dollars to build this thing, in WNY where land costs are nowhere near what they are in other places. There should be all sorts of "cool" touches and snazzy marketing and virtual fly throughs/videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I haven’t read the “out” clause if there is one, so perhaps they can break it earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I haven’t read the “out” clause if there is one, so perhaps they can break it earlier. Pretty sure after like 10 years it’s significantly less than the $850m payback. Which imo is absolutely nothing to some rich billionaire owner. Who will likely be getting a free stadium in a new city like Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone purchased the team RIGHT NOW, for the fair market value, it would only cost about ~20% more to leave. Twenty percent more, to leave us with a hole in the ground and an bunch of metal and concrete. After 15 years, the penalty to relocate reduces annually.

So whoever the owner is in 15 years will be saying to NY state they have to put a roof on the stadium or we’re leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
