    Will MGM re-model the MGM Grand arena?

    I was in there for a preseason hockey game and it looks quite dated.

    New 20,000 seat arena by MGM @ NYNY

    Hope they bring in an NHL team.

    On Long Island where I live they've been trying to rebuild the Nassau Coliseum for 14 years now and between the funding and the stubborn politicians not a damn thing is getting done. It had to take the NY Islanders signing a lease in Brooklyn to finally get a project (now scaled down) moving. I love Las Vegas and it's gun ho attitude. When they want to build something they just build it. I can't wait to move out of NY to Nevada.

    Looked up the space between NYNY and FS Drive on Mapquest. That space does not seem big enough to fit a 20,000 seat arena in. If they do, they will have to get a shoe horn to do it. :ssst:

    Not sure if the NHL would put a team in Vegas before Seattle, Quebec, 2nd Toronto team.

    A brand new arena helps though.

    Had a story about MGM in the LVRJ today and Jim Murren hopes for a groundbreaking for the arena in May. Murren also indicated they might build a plaza-like area with shops and dining similar to what they are currently doing between Monte Carlo and NYNY.

    If anyone can find a satellite view image of where exactly they're going to put this thing I'd love to see it.

    Last time I stayed at Monte my room had a view of where this is supposed to go and it absolutely does not seem like there is enough room back there for a giant arena.
