Paywalled but worth reading: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/12/21/nederlander-new-arena-heritage-bank-site-study.html. (You can login to your Cincy library account and read articles from CBC if you don't have a paid subscription.) To sum up: the owner, Nederlander, believes it's possible to rebuild on the site by putting decking over Pete Rose and Mehring Way, adding 1.7 more acres to the area.

It's another shiny new object, which we always seem to find money for. Sure wish that was true for the major road improvement project planned for my neighborhood in 2025.

Ever been to the Igloo? People used to ripped on it all the time, but it was a great experience.

Once as a young kid. I have a Lemieux jersey somewhere, though due to regional rivalries never considered myself a Penguins fan. Was always Blues.

Screw journalism. You need to become the mayor of Cincinnati.
