One of the more recent arguements i have herd from naysayers is that Taxes would be just too high. I think they are entirely wrong, but lets just throw down a possible way around it, IF the taxes were a smidge high. Here you will find a link to a previous post made regarding casino packages. returnofthejets.proboards38.com/index.cgi?board=Revenue&action=display&thread=1107411032Because in Winnipeg Casinos are government regulated, they cannot be privetly owned, (there are some exceptions on aborigional reserves) the Jets wouldn't be able to own a casino.... IF there was a way to prove that the Casinos of Winnipeg were greatly profiting from the Winnipeg Jets (possibley a survey goes out with the revenue source i posted earlier about) We could request that Katz offer the owners more tax breaks. Katz is a resonable down to earth man, i think if we could prove the city is benefiting from the jets in other areas, they would be willing to offer them tax breaks as an insentive to not fly south.

I think Katz wants the Jets here just as bad as we do.
It may negatively affect his Goldeyes though... (ie. people buy Jets mini packs/season tix and have less $ for Goldeye games in the summer)

i dont think it would effect the goldeyes. they play in the summer, the jets play in the fall/winter/spring(hopefully into late spring ;D). also, goldeyes tickets have always been very affordable so i dont see the goldeyes attendance changing at all.

i don't think the jets returning will have an adverse effect on the goldeyes.
if anything, it'll be a boon as it'll get disgruntled sports fans back out to sporting events that they haven't attended since the jets left.
i don't think tax breaks for the jets will be an issue. it seems every other company tries to suck every last ounce out of governments (see motorcoach industries), so why should the jets be any different.
