Who should pay for new arenas in Canada has been a topic of much debate in Edmonton and Quebec City, where the desires of local hockey enthusiasts have clashed with fiscal conservatives. But the economic reality is that most cities need to subsidize construction to attract the NHL, according to a study.
Paying for new arenas: the economic realities
New for 2011: BMO Harris Bank Center
The former Rockford (Ill.) MetroCentre has a new name: BMO Harris Bank Center, as naming rights were sold by Rockford Area Venues and Entertainment Authority to the international banker.
New for 2011: Ford Center
The new downtown Evansville arena officially has a name -- Ford Center -- and a lead pro-sports tenant after the Evansville IceMen (CHL) come to terms on a new lease after some amazingly contentious negotiations.
IceCaps: Yes, we still have tickets
