New Arena

[Robert]

I want no part of US Bank as long as the current ownership is in place.

Anyone else get that email from Mike Bohn wanting our feedback on Fifth Third Arena? Now's your chance to speak up. I went relatively in-depth with the things I didn't like about the arena. Hope they read all of it.

I got the same thing from the AD. I will surely let my opinions be heard.

I did the survey. It wasn't very in-depth nor did it have a place for comments at the end like some in the past have.

Me too. Must be awkward for Bohn to be sending out emails to the man that is going to take his job soon...

Cleveland did it by using a "sin tax", but in Cleveland the option of crossing the river to evade such taxes does not exist so that would not generate enough revenue either. Another option is to have UC kick in a major part of the cost of renovation, but if they had the money I believe 5/3 would be the priority.
