[dman66]

[bill from turtle creek]

Well, I guess my prayer was answered, in that the Fix was averted.

But man, am I stunned.

[pensfannn]

Sanford Rivers doesn't care about Pittsburgh. He was looking out for his brotha Barden!

[jimjom]

My life is ruined.

[Kovy27]

I tried telling you guys this. I knew long before this day what would happen. My beloved Penguins are done. Pi$$ on the Gaming Board. Plan B is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Man, you are the man. Thanks for gloating.

[magnum]

I still can't figure out this decision. Barden's casino looked nice in the casino but it does very little for the city and nothing for the area it is in. Their give backs to the city were tiny, no temporary casino, the west end bridge is a joke and so is the circle... hate to say it, but they gave it to the black man because he was the only one and it makes them look good giving it to a minority....

this blows..........

[Loaf31]

tells you where people come for penguin news!

i'm not going to the smithfield street bridge to jump,
not going to storm offices, I'll wait to hear what
the Rooneys' / mayor/county exec have to say!

[Corvidae]

I hope it burns to the ground after they build it.

I'm guessing the "Fix is in" voters didn't have a majority, and the "IOC is the best plan" voters didn't have the majority either. Much like Ravenstal being elected council president and then unexpectedly moving up to mayor, we are now stuck with Bardo and taxpayer funding for a new arena.

[Xgen]

Does anyone want to meet at a bar right now...i want to leave work i can't take it

[Peter]

so the fix was not in.

[spi]

Well guys and gals, those saying pens are done in the burgh, dont give up yet.

Mario is in control of the team and there is a plan B. The good news is that if Plan b is a joke, it will be exposed in the coming days and weeks. Onorato, Rendell and Ravenstal are up to bat. They will have to sleep in the bed they made. just hope they actually made a bed

keep the faith.

[canaan]

smart....put a casino next to the science center....genius

[Pens163]

Who needs a multi purpose arena for free anyway, right?

if the pens leave and since we prob. won't get a new arena... the city will hit the fan and the only things will be summer concerts and steelers/pirates games.....
