As has been stated the cost to fix all the end of life parts of the building is over $50 million with the city still on the hook for annual maintenance and operating subsidy.

So do it, fix it. It's not even half the cost of building a smaller arena. Plus it's better for the environment. I don't understand why people would think that we can find find money for a brand new building if we can't find money to fix and maintain what we have.
