it goes back to the thread about cities with sports rivalries. I truly think that the New Orleans/Atlanta NFL rivalry is perpetuated by New Orleans folks more than anything. For some reason, the jealousy there is strong.

This is exactly it. There is a strong little brother complex w/NOLA people.

Speaking of locations, am I remembering correctly that the Phillips Arena/State Farm Arena extensive renovations makes it impossible to convert the floor to ice now, or am I making that up

I thought I had heard the same thing but I can't be 100% sure.

The NHL wouldn't even be considering coming back to Atlanta if it was just strictly a downtown location.

It’s not impossible, but it would require some work.

Because the NHL doesn’t ever want to admit that they approved a sale to the biggest group of shitheads to ever own a professional franchise (ASG), so they blame the Thrashers being in Downtown as the reason the team failed.
