Our competitors and the state underestimated the depth of this market. We think it's a better market. We think Pittsburgh can bring in tourists from all over the country. Pittsburgh has the ability to do a lot better than what people are giving it credit for. |
The bottom line from our local impact report is that there is the capacity, from a traffic and infrastructure standpoint, for a casino at Station Square. |
This is about property tax relief. We're going to raise over $100 million more per year. |
We believe that the plan put forth by public officials ensures that the Penguins will have the opportunity to stay in Pittsburgh. What we need to hear from [the team] is a commitment to stay in Pittsburgh. |
We do not feel it's appropriate to make specific comments about that in the media. |
We need to know if the Penguins are participating or not. The Penguins need to put money into this plan. It's a plan for the Penguins. They need to take the first step and make a commitment to the city. |
We're waiting for the Penguins to respond. |
