"And it's about to get bigger in the next few years.  The land the arena is being built upon was owned by, yup, Oilers owner Daryl Katz. The city will buy that from him, naturally.  The construction company the city is paying to build the arena is owned by Daryl Katz.  The firm hired by the city to design the arena? What? Daryl Katz owns that?  Who gets the money from naming rights, concessions, parking and non-hockey events? Daryl Katz.  The city will own the arena, and will have to pay for 100% of the maintenance on the building. All savings for Katz.   The arena will be built, it will be damn near 100% taxpayer funded, and Katz will receive most, if not all, of the profits... This is what has happened in virtually every community where this sort of thing comes up. As an Oilers fan, the last thing I'm worried about is the team to moving to Seattle, that's for sure. The last thing the BoG would approve is moving a revenue rich team to an unsure market. This has all just been part of tightening the screws in Edmonton. JR \n"
