Confirmed with Link: All-Purpose "Days of Our Meruelo" Talk

Cuz it’s not your team anymore. Never will be.

All their goals, saves, wins aren’t for us. They’re for Utah.

“Your team” is which ever one you want it to be.

And nobody else gets to dictate what that choice is.

I can't remember who won the cup 5 years ago or what state they represent. I'm sure they have that hometown pride and feel like winners, but I don't care. Only know it wasn't my team.

Man it's bad enough he tried this in Phoenix with an actual NHL team, trying to grift a smaller city is even more slimy.

Reno will go for it too.

Meruelo has more political "in" with the city and state of Nevada than he did in Arizona.

Could be wrong on this but from what I read the ask here is for the deferrent of sales taxes.... they're still going to be paying the property taxes. Nevada has a totally difference tax structure. There's no personal income tax there because of it. CoR would be gambling on the traffic the arena brings will make up for it via other means.
