Cavs: Can we have seconds yet?

For all those of you who've been asking me - and you know who you are - how long it'll take before the first teams to get new stadiums and arenas come back around and get on line for more subsidies, here's a news item for you: Cleveland Cavaliers execs have met with city officials to discuss a plan to spend $30 million in public money on upgrades to Quicken Loans Arena that would, in a team spokesperson's words, "enhance the fan experience and the arena's function." The Cavs' home court, then known as the Gund Arena, cost taxpayers $73 million when it opened - way back in 1994.

COMMENTS

I went to a hockey game at the Gund Arena once. Nothing wrong with the place in comparison to any of the other modern arenas which have no soul.

It's ridiculous to ask for upgrades already.
