I'm not sure if this has been thought of but i think its a good idea.
Say the team were to buy one of the buildings close to the center and then turn it in to a sports bar, it would be a great place for fans to go on sellout nights, a place to watch hockey on other nights. If it is run by the team all revenue would go to them.
Not sure how profitable this would be but it would be a great place to go any night of the week and is something Winnipeg is lacking.

There already IS a sports bar connected to the MTS Centre and it opens this spring.

Well... when the NHL returns to Winnipeg there will be a HUGE revitalization of the downtown area around the MTS Centre... so maybe there would be demand for yet another bar/sports bar...

absolutely. the only way an arena will revitalize our downtown is with the jets as the main tenant. it will do wonders for the area. it will look completely different in 10 years. i forsee a ton of hockey/jets stores/restaurants/bars in the area.
