True that, let's give credits where it's due- with mayor Norrick's vision the Myriad wouldn't have been a viable option when Brad Lund had the brain stroke to offer refuge to the Hornets and picked up the phone. Lots of towns have an arena and no team. Without a human tragedy and Howard Schultz's greed neither would we.
