I'm still shocked that KC didn't. They built a stadium to house the Penguins and never got a team. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 08:35 1
- the big 6 being thrown around were Vegas and Quebec, 3 options in Seattle and another one in TO - Beaker Jul 21, 08:38
That's fucked up. WTF Seattle/Portland? Halifax? Hamilton? - Mop Jul 21, 08:23 8
- no way could Halifax support a team. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 08:27 3
  - they can't even get a CFL team -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:37 1
    - I mean, really Halifax, Moncton is out-rolling you. *Moncton*. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 08:40
  - and one team in either Buffalo or Hamilton, but not both. The other would have to be right around T.O. -- nm - zork Jul 21, 08:31
- they had to put up $10M bond with $2M non-refundable. Vegas and Quebec are the only two that will have arenas ready to roll -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:24 3
  - There is Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, but people have been talking about Markham lately although they have not started building yet. -- nm - zork Jul 21, 08:25 2
    - isn't Copps like 50 year old? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:44 1
      - Lemieux top shelf!!! Suck it USSR!! -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 08:44
