Message: [QUOTE="XLCenterFan, post: 3378357, member: 8712"] We shouldn't be doing things just because "that's how everyone else does it." I feel that Gampel/XL splitting the games works for UCONN in CT. I have never had a problem with this whatsoever. In fact, I always thought it was kind of cool. Also, I don't see taxpayer money going into the XL as needing a return on that investment. Public money gets spent on things we like (or don't like), and our use is the return. We shouldn't think of everything as a stock trade or business transaction. Plus, I don't see how $200-$300 million will ever be truly recouped through the arena. Without private investment, maybe through long-term property and sales taxes, and leasing the arena, but how much can the XL generate per year through this? [/QUOTE]
