Apparently the city is making the payments on the loan while plans for the future are developed ( they did guarantee the loan). The MPRB seems interested, but where they would get the $$$$$ to pay off the loan are anybody's guess. It seems they were short revenue from Parade due to loss of a customer ( that would be while the Wild were on strike.... bet they're happy that's over. Wonder what that financial hit was? ). Last I heard the MPRB was installing astroturf on the Parade Ice for indoor soccer. Is that where Edison Arena is headed? Regardless of who picks up the payments there is a big lesson to be learned from all of this...
DO NOT RELY ON GAMBLING TO PAY THE BILLS pulltab revenue was suppose to pay for all of this.
