Personally, I'd rather wait to have it in 2013 to show off the 2nd largest convention center in America as opposed to having it in 2012 using the stinking executive airport off Colonial Dr.

This is awesome. The new Arena is going to be great. I am going to try my hardest to get to a game when it opens.

LOL souvenir(sp?) dirt give away AND pics with the groundbreaking shovel. THis is a must go to event.

C'mon, it'll be magical, you could get a used needle or a cap in your Bag-O-Dirt. Wouldn't you like that?? Wouldn't ya? An infected hypodermic needle and a picture with Bo Outlaw? Maybe spin the prize wheel too?

Thanks for the update

I hope you don't take offense to what I said one might find in a Bag-O-Dirt giveaway, Courtside.



I want a suite. Wow. Big roomy living room AND 12 posh seats for your entourage.

Can't wait for the Amway!!!

Getting excited seeing that site and knowing the groundbreaking is starting!!!!

is anyone going to the ground breaking tomorrow? I was thinking about it...

I'll be there just to see whats going on. Got nothing better to do.

Any other members going?

And no i don't take offense to the bag of dirt comment although they took down the 3 palm trees which pisses me off.. Those were nice trees! I guess they'll bring in newer ones.

how far will this place be from the current arena?

If you turn right on hughey from the current arena heading west bound, you follow the road about 3-4 lights and you'll get to church street. About a 2 minute drive if there is no traffic or lights.

I'll be out there; I know I'm not a regular poster but i'm on every day. You should come out, Thief - I want to see how tall you really are.

Wow that is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard lol. I hope no one is going for their dirt and picture with a shovel. Maybe you can sell the dirt for a lot on Ebay lol.
