Fresh Money got a call he probably wishes he never answered. The Kixx are seriously leaning to "taking a hiatus from MISL if the Spectrum is knocked down" They've looked at other venues..........no They don't want to move the franchise to another city There isn't a mad rush of business people lining up to buy the team. Wilmington? No Trenton? No Harrisburg? No IF the Spectrum goes then they will go on hiatus until a new arena is built that will be a more purpose built place. 6-10 thousand fans, that kind of thing. If this arena doesn't get built, the Kixx might not come back.
I know that this is OT, but do you know where the Phantoms (AAA hockey) would move to? Also, why are they knocking down the Spectrum? It seems like a perfectly good 2nd arena that allows Comcast to make more money from hosting more events than the Wachovia Center could handle.
I don't know where the Phantoms would go. Trenton has ECHL so thats out. Maybe they would share with the Flyers as the ownership situation makes that easy. But no I don't know. That being said I have numerous contacts in minor hockey. I don't know Frank Miceli at all as he was a baseball guy they brought in via Comcast. I've met Mike when he was with the Colonial Hockey League. I'll send a couple of emails.
Isn't there supposed to be some sort of mid-sized indoor arena in Pennsauken, where they've finished knocking down the Pennsauken Mart?
