St. Paul, Minnesota Wild scale back plans for Xcel Energy Center revamp to $488M

What's more, the city and team are drastically reducing their request for state funding, down from the $394.6 million suggested in March to just $50 million in Thursday's proposal.

From the article, they want the city to pay $200 million, the state to pay $50 million, and the wild plus their billionaire owner to pay $238 million.
Hardly seems fair.
The reason downtown Saint Paul is dying is twofold. One, no one lives there. Two, since no one lives there, unless there is an event, there is nothing to do. The damn place closes up shop at 6 pm on a Saturday.
