arena again

So that's why Rob Fong never wrote me back. He's busy putting a shine on the arena deal turd. Metaphorical turd, of course, not literal. Here's a quote from the end:

The developer is now getting permits from the city on how to use the railyard, including an arena, said Suheil Totah, vice president for development for Thomas Enterprises.

"We're getting those approvals so we could build an arena if the financing plan comes together," Totah said Thursday. "We think it's something the community and the city want to see. It will be a great addition for our overall project

Oh really, Suheil? What part of no don't these people understand?
