Reminder. Gayle can donate to a new stadium in Canton, but can’t do the same for SKC.

Once the Arena lease is signed in the fall then renovations will follow.

Tom gave $10m for HOF stadium renovations while he was still alive.

Pretty sure that it was a gift to try and reconcile with NFL after bountygate.

Unfortunately renovations are useless. The SKC is the worst arena in the NBA & needs to be demolished. Look at the newer arenas like the Intuit Dome & Chase Center with Dallas & OKC on deck. Only a brand new state of the art arena will work in today’s arms race of an NBA with free agency. And ownership & the state won’t do it.

Given the state of the team it feels impossible to do.

No player is deciding what team he joins in free agency b/c of the arena they play in.

These new arenas are being built to attract events outside of basketball, like concerts.


And yes, we desperately need a new arena b/c the SKC is terrible.

Doug Thornton who got the city major events and concerts is moving on. Certainly a sign things might not be roses especially with the City and State fighting.

Why are fans fixated on new arenas. All it will do is make it unaffordable to attend. I absolutely do not care about the arenas and it is about the game. I have not been distracted by the SKC or Superdome itself when attending compared to other sports venues.

Waste of money
When were taxpayers supposed to pay billionaires grifting for freebies?
‘Arms race”? State could build a state of the art for billions and not even be a thought in NBA free agency.

I see no indication that is happening anytime soon.
