Now, if they ever decide to actually
play again, this'll add some cash into a young and promising team.

no way - Kennywood is still around?? I didn't think there were too many of those old parks left that hadn't been bought out by the mega theme parks.

"In addition to having a share of the Omaha Lancers and the Sharks, Del Biaggio owns part of the Sharks' American Hockey League affiliate, the Cleveland Barons."

Kennywood is still going strong. One of the cool things I love about Pittsburgh (I am a transplant) is the fact that 10 minutes from downtown is a hardcore spend-all-day amusement park.
That and Primanti's, which I stare at from my window all day long...
