    The NBA should market it as "two teams, one cup"

    We’re about to have the oldest arena in the league with only a 5 year extended lease yikes

    Sure, if you ignore all the ones that are older.

    There seems to be a discrepancy for Toronto. ESPN has them down at 98-99
    the other 4 are 99-2000

    Only a few older than Moda. Madison square garden included. Still not good.. you know owners use every excuse to leave and this is their favorite one

    Half the arenas were built in the 90's. A couple of years makes little difference. What does though is attendance. So we might not want to tank until then.

    Herro has made a leap this year...I know we likely wouldn't have kept him if we do the Miami deal but just throwing it out there

    Might be that were the oldest without a major renovation or something, I remember something about us being one of the oldest before but I can't remember exactly what the comment was.

    Renovation funds are capped at whatever the city gets from revenue for tickets/parking in the prior year - so certainly its not like the Philly agreement where the city is paying 100's of million for an arena.

    It always seemed super odd how the Blazers sold the Moda to the city for $1... might be major concerns of expensive maintenance and renovations needed, or they want to use that as an argument that the team doesn't have an arena and can relocate, or some other type of bargaining position for who knows what.

    Government-funded portion: Judging by these posts, Portland taxpayers are eager to pony up hundreds of millions of dollars from more income and sales taxes.

    Team-funded portion: And Blazer fans are eager to raise ticket prices to the (new expensive) roof.
