Message: [QUOTE="IMind, post: 2030914, member: 1048"] Scrap it.. knock it down... build a 16k state of the art arena. Make it small but great... people will come. The XL Center never will be great. Basically the Winnipeg/Oklahoma City model kicked up a notch. A NHL team will become available.... the league has propped too many of these franchises as it is. You've got to have the arena though. Hartford doesn't. The building has got to be part of the draw... Look at the precedent set by the new MLB, minor league baseball, heck even minor league hockey. The AHL is setting attendance records based in part on some great new small arenas. And hire Deepster to monitor the construction. ;) [/QUOTE]
