"So how does that affect the revenue projections? KOTA Territory News spoke with the authors of the AECom Feasibility Study who said that if the city is not planning on obtaining two new sports teams, it will have to make up for the shortfall in revenue some other way. Opponents to the plan want more details on how that would be done.
Former Rapid City Mayor Alan Hanks outlines is concerns. 'All the projections, the economic studies, all include two additional sports teams that are supposed to be residents of the new arena but yet the city officials said publicly that, although they are included, at this time the city has no desire or intent of getting two new teams and that's fine but you are going to have go back and adjust those projections.'"

But hey, it worked in the movies right?  Is the new Civic Center plan a "field of dreams"?
