History will be UNmade.

If you could "unmake" something to prevent the Jets from leaving in 1996 , it would be either the building of Portage Place or the staging of the 1999 Pan-Am games, two huge wastes of money that prevented a proper arena from being built that would have kept the team here. I'm no fan of Bettman, but he is not the reason they left.

I've gotta admit that was good but that one stung a little...

How about History will be made - What if the Coyotes hadn't packed their bags?

I don`t think we can call the Pan-Am games a waste. It did a lot for the city. Do you remember how $hitty Birds Hill Park was before 1999? It was horrible. They did a ton of work at the Forks and built a great ball park and renovated Winnipeg Stadium. I do remember there being talk about building a new arena in time for the games but that never materialized but to call the games a waste is going a little far.
