We can debate to the end of time on where are they going to build the new arena. I have a better question: How are they going to pay for it? I know that it is supposed to be a partnership with the city. However, the city is under "fiscal caution" from the state because they are $87 million in the hole. So if they even put a issue on the ballot, the state will be watching very closely.
Are you willing to pay more fees for the new arena?
Could they get corporate sponsors to help offset the cost?
If so, who? You already have Infocision, Summa and First Merit for the stadium. Just doing a quick scan here in Akron, there is one major player left, and that is Goodyear. Here is a idea, let's go and ask them to just right the check for it right now.
