Apparently, the new arena contractors told The Charlotte Observer (I believe) that they have hit way more rock then they expected. This will cause at least a two week delay in construction and another $1.5 million from the $15 million "safe" fund that the city had in place just in case crap like this would happen. I believe that I read that there is now like $10 million left in the safe fund because another surprising cost is what the new arena is causing to clean-up the environment. Let's just hope that we only have to play only one season at the former coliseum!
Man, that bites. I was looking forward to attending a game at the new arena as soon as possible. The original predictions were for the arena to be finished summer after next, but if it comes up to september or october of 05, the home debut may have to be at the Coliseum.

Didn't you say Tennessee, or am I making that up?
