Ok,I feel like ranting a bit. It all started last night when we were at Zios and I was watching EPSN highlights on the TV of the Penguins game while waiting to be seated.
I am fairly frustrated with Mario Lemiux and this whole act. In fact I am willing to call shenanigans. If you don't know what I am talking about just Google "Penguins and Kansas City" an read up.
It bothers me that they would use such a generous offer made by the Sprint center to give the Penguins a brand new home as leverage in order to hold out and get what they want in Pittsburgh. It frustrates me more that deadlines have come and gone and nothing is happening. There are talks with the city of Pittsburgh about a new arena and this that and the other, but nothing is official. Plus, it still means at least another season or two at the Mellon.
Frankly, I think the Sprint Center and AEG should take the deal off the table and stop getting used. If Mario really just wants to keep playing this game, then let them miss out on an amazing deal and get stuck at the Mellon.
Mario, I would be a fan, I would buy season seats, and I would cheer them on. (Except for when the Ducks were in town). Stop playing games and make up your mind. Bring hockey to Kansas City. I think you will be surprised. Kansas City is waiting. If you aren't being real about it, then knock it off so we can look elsewhere.
My friend, whom shall remain nameless for legal sakes, hasn't updated me recently on any new dirt coming out of the Sprint Center, but if I ever hear anything I will let you know.
so, i wouldn't buy season tickets, but would definitely go to some games. i love hockey and i haven't seen a good game in-person for years!

Amen. Bring them here or drop the charade.
