I think LED bargained crazy hard here and they got a good deal. The benefit for us is that LED did all of this stuff extremely smooth compared to other cities and owners who are pounding the gavel and flipping over flower pots to get their arena.
Now you can say "Yeah, but in the end they got a great deal just like owner x did in state y". True, but they did it professionally. And where I care about that is it speaks to their ability to run things well, which means good times to come for our local on court product.
These guys know how to get things done quietly and behind the scenes. Heck, look at this new info on Common Ground.
The days of the Bucks trading for RJ and having us wait a week while RJ decides whether he'll report or not are thankfully over.
