I remain highly suspicious of Ruddy. He has never built anything but big box stores and seems to have limited financial resources. If the fan base is latching onto him as their latest saviour they may be disappointed again.

It's true that you can make general statements in a statement of claim, but it is not true that you can "say anything". If you make a statement that you can't support with evidence, and particularly a statement that is key to your claim, you will be in violation of the rules and risk undermining your entire claim.
In fairness, Ruddy was part of the team that built Lansdowne, a very similar project, albeit on a smaller scale.
Also, Houston's arena is only 7 years newer than the CTC.
