SAP Center lease expiring in 2025

[gstommylee]

I doubt an expansion team will be that high but it certainly should be over a billion. Kinda hard to say a new team is worth what an established team with 3 Cups is.

They aren't gonna get much offers especially if they want to keep things as balanced as possible and it would be dumb to go to 33 just for the sake of expanding.

If they are expanding it will be two teams coming in together but in separate years.

As crucial date looms, Sharks talks for new SAP Center lease take a turn

NHL: San Jose Sharks eye new lease agreement at SAP Center, their home since 1993

Things moving slowly with July 1 expiration date of current lease. "Cities move slowly". More than $100m in deferred maintenance on arena, that the Sharks are seeking some funding from San Jose city to cover. San Jose city facing $47m deficit.

Exactly 10 weeks left...going to need to pick up the pace

Went on the CA road trip this year for the first time following the Caps. SAP Center felt extremely minor-league to me.

@NextBigThing Sharks are not a relocation candidate.

Still sure about that? This doesn't look good for the hockey fans in San Jose.

Sharks owner loves the arena. FUD increases ratings/views.

It sounds like the sharks want to stay and that San Jose wants to keep them there so I wouldn't be surprised that if they don't work out a full deal by July 1 that they simply sign what amounts to a one year extension on the current lease and keep talking.

But, as usual, I could be wrong.
