Default Re: Harrah\'s to build sports arena behind Ballys

With huge recent betting scandals in the NBA and NHL, I doubt they could get any team within 10-20 years unless they offered HUGE sums of money, like 4-5x more then another location such as Ohio or Kansas City.

Ohio already has an NBA team and an NHL team.

The NBA team is in Cleveland which is in one corner of the state. But to my knowledge there really isn't very much interest at all in the Cincinnati area to land an NBA team.

The NHL team in Columbus is pretty centrally located of course. Cleveland has a first-class arena that could host an NHL team and maybe they even have the fan-base to support it. But it doesn't seem very likely to me.
