They'd be the dream owners for the Angels. If I ever make/get enough money, I'll definitely buy season tickets for the Ducks.

It's one of the reasons I've kept my tickets. Got a better job 2-4 hours away (depending on traffic) so I can't make it to most games anymore, but still go Friday and Sunday when I can.
This is a huge investment and I am impressed that it is privately funded. I shouldn't have to be impressed by that, but by today's standards, it's incredibly impressive. Kudos to them and I can't wait to see the result.

Ugh, I don't know how you do the commute. I would kill myself. I really hate driving in traffic.

Yeah, I hate the drive. It's why I don't get to as many games as I used to. I miss living/working like 20 miles away.

I love our owners!
Under the terms of the Ducks’ latest lease, signed with the city of Anaheim in 2018, Samueli’s management company receives 47.5% of any arena revenue over $6 million annually, although that number is calculated after investments into facility improvements.
“We’re pouring so much money into it, it’s going to be hard for us to ever get our expenses back,” says Michael Schulman, the Ducks’ CEO and OC Sports & Entertainment’s chairman. “Most teams get the city to pay for their arenas, the reverse order. We’re not only not asking for [taxpayer] money, but we’re putting all this extra money into this project that we know we ultimately will not own.”

Honda Center set for privately funded, $1.1B reno
Anaheim Ducks owner Henry Samueli is privately funding a $1.1B renovation of Honda Center to be completed before the venue hosts the LA28 Summer Olympics' volleyball competition.www.sportsbusinessjournal.com
ESCALATORS!! Finally, they’ve gotta be the only arena left in the league that don’t have them
Well I hope they're prepared the at least invest in increasing the budget for a head coach if not the internal salary cap.

Did Tourigny get fired? Am I missing something because Carle and Cooper have both been linked to Utah in the span of a week
LOL. There you go again.
Please clarify: (i) what is the current budget for a head coach and which candidates have been eliminated based on budget; and (ii) what specific credible evidence do you have that there's an internal cap?
I'll wait.
Ya I thought the same thing. Ryan Smyth must be amazing, because the NHL were desperate to get him in the league, and the best junior and best senior coaches in the world want to coach there.
There's been talk all over the internet that Anaheim pays their head coaches less than other teams. It's an inference, I'm not going to find you material evidence, Matlock. Calm down.
I wonder how Cooper feels about Verbeek, they used to work together. We've got Killorn, too.
Imagine an off-season where we walk away with Cooper, Marner, and sign an RHD like Ekblad.

$1.1 billion is a LOT of money for a renovation, and honestly… I kinda wish they were just building a new arena instead. The lower bowl seating has always been too small, which limits revenue. But hey, I get it! A new arena could easily cost double, and with city ownership in the mix, things get complicated. At the end of the day, I really appreciate what the Samuelis have done for the Ducks and the city. Well… maybe just the Honda Center. Just kidding! They’ve always been committed to making things better IMO, and the renovations do look very cool. Can’t wait! Also, cutting the suites from 80 to 68 and shifting toward four person opera boxes instead of the16-person suites. Maybe this is one way to address the lower bowl issue? Dunno.

the marble floor is iconic and a throwback to the 90s. i hope it stays
i think i'm more excited for the escalators more than anything. hiking up those stairs to the 400s when you're quite a few drinks deep isn't fun
He is arguably the best coach in the NHL. I would imagine many teams would fire their coach if Cooper expressed wanting to go there. Would be incredible for the Ducks, but unlikely.

Kinda feel bad for Andre Tourigny, that's two coaches now rumoured around Utah and he's still the coach lol. They had a nice year too

I note you didn't address your unsupported claim the ducks have an internal cap whereas there's ample evidence they don't (i.e., the many years they spent to the cap).
It is all over the internet that the lunar landing is fake and that the earth is flat. So I guess you think that's true too?
It seems unwise to form opinions based on unverified sources. That the standard I try to operate under . . . but to each their own.
