actually, i think having a slots 'casino' next to the arena would help traffic somewhat..think of the number of people that figure since theyre already there, already paid for parking, that they'll just go waste some time in the casino waiting for traffic to go down after the game. besides, massive traffic delays every single night, and even worse on the weekends, seems alot worse than a few tieups for pens games(41 nights/year), concerts(how many concerts come through in a year? 50 at most?), etc

Delano is a tool of the local Democratic party. I can't believe that KDKA tries to position him as a "political analyst". He worked for the party for years.

IF IOC loses, they don't want to be caught in the riot

They are trying to avoid the lynching if IoC loses.

It's just professional. They're job is to see that this city grows, and whether they have a direct tie to the slots or not, it's there for show, as an illustration that they actually care about the city...

When do we start to hear chants of IOC-IOC-IOC!!!!
By the looks of things, we'll be lucky to hear a decision by 10:30.
My guess is that they're deadlocked and they need more fact finding.

Grrrrrr. Well, I have to get some things done around the house. I'll check back later.
I was looking forward to the whole countdown thing, though...
