The Key will suffice in the short term till an arena is build, assuming a deal is consummated.

sounds like you’d fit right in with all the pessimistic free thinking

They played an outdoor game in Vegas in 1991 with temps in the 80′s. And it’s not called Qwest any more, it’s CenturyLink Field.

please be real friend ! … it’s actually not that great here in the winter and you know that … today was another grey, cold, rainy day, which is “par for the course” here in our part of the world during this time of year …

- Golf is impossible due to quagmire-like conditions

- Skiing is crap in wet and slushy conditions with “zero” visibility

- even the “notion” of sailing on a day like today is idiotic

- there was no sun today … in fact, we’ve barely seen it since early December
