It ain’t happening : )
There ain’t no Tax capture in Detroit!
Makes sense. Detroit pensioners have to be entertained somehow... hockey’ll be perfect
Hey, they got Joe’s Fist downtown. I’ve always enjoyed a good fight. The hockey is just “gravy on the biscuit”.
We don’t need one. It’s a hockey game, all the history is at the Joe, I see no reason to leave it.
Build it outside city limits (but not as far away as the Siverdome was....).
The city’s bankruptcy is not expected to interfere with the project...
I grew up in Michigan. I left in 1980. I've never regretted it: the more stupid mistakes people make there, the more stupid mistakes they repeat... and repeat... and repeat.
Perfect! Shovel-ready union jobs to the rescue! Obama can give yet another self-serving speech on his way to Communist America 2016.
No responsible investor would willingly buy bonds from that dead metropolis. This is as much a slap in the face to capitalism and free markets as it is precisely the wrong thing to do.

Call Buffalo, NY!
That’s the ticket, new $650 Million hockey arena for Detroit. That’ll fix the social and economic problems. That Million fifty thousand people that left will probably start moving back. I might even take a Janurary vacation in Detroit and go to hockey game or two.
From the article: “The city’s bankruptcy is not expected to interfere with the project, which backers said consists of 56 percent private investment from Olympia Development and 44 percent public financing from tax capture in the Detroit Downtown Development Authority area.”
You just can’t make this stuff up.
