They can play in the dome for a year. I saw some epic Jazz games there. No problem.

Pels need a NEW arena... No need to put a band-aid on a wound that needs surgery. Unless your SIGNIFICANTLY upgrading SKC (partial demolition and gutting the lower bowl in an effort to increase seating capacity to say at least 25,000+ and obviously creating more luxury box suites, soon as NOT renovate and waste money for the inevitable. Make it a general purpose arena for future conventions, etc and go state of the art near riverfront w/ the goal of MAYBE building a NEW football stadium as well in due time. Talking like a 20 year plan. OR significantly year down SKC and increase capacity on the east end.

Would be COOL for them to play at several sites within the state for a year. I'm talking games strictly and mostly in BR, but a number of regular season games also in Lafayette, Shreveport and maybe a game or two in Birmingham. Need to gain more exposure around the state and this would be the route to go.

Please DONT rain on the thought with logistics, travel and whatnot. Just saying in a perfect world, if they chose to rebuild or w.e., at the SKC site, they could make the scenario work...

That's why it's IMPERATIVE THIS team become a consistent playoff participant starting NOW. This might be the only window for the Pels with a legitimate shot at a title in the foreseeable future to merit a new arena. The future of this franchise is truly in Zion's hands and body.
