I'm all for "no" for pretty much all the reasons stated on page 1. But if by some miracle this went through (it won't, btw) and the CBJ become public or semi public property, then seat prices had better drop DRASTICALLY, and there had better be a large amount of free seats every game. Perhaps won in a lottery or something. If the public is paying for it, the public should get to access it at little to no extra cost.
Edit: I have spent quite a lot of cash in arena district bars/restaurants and I have never been to a CBJ game, nor do I own and CBJ merchandise. Have you been to the arena district bars on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday night? They are all hopping, without assistance from the CBJ. They'll be fine.
