My skepticism arises from the reno announced way back when was in dollar terms at that time. Im sure to get the same bang for the 2020 bucks the price tag probably has near doubled. Not sure if the group has the stomach for that. Again hoping for a first class upgrade...Im from Missouri..show me.

Considering it was the city trying to get the reno done and dithering over that vs. replacement, that's actually not too bad. They were also probably hoping a prospective NHL owner would fly in and do it all.
In the U.S. it may have been led by private sector interests from the get-go, even just to push the idea. And they're good at wringing money out of governments. Plus, wasting more than a decade is basically half of a facility's lifespan in many U.S. markets, so why wait?
