Sounds like these folks gave $20mm which is the majority of what's needed for the practice facility. Certainly appreciate them shelling out that kind of cash. I would have preferred they get the practice facility be named after them rather than the entire arena. That would have been a big honor and would have reflected exactly what they made possible while still reserving the arena name for Bruce when he retires. Pearl-Neville Arena one day will be fine though.Not all they did. Thoughts?

This also gave me an idea for the huthut stadium. Could do a deal with Jordan brand and say the stadium is named after MJ. Maybe call it Hare Jordan with a silent H.
