Penguins facing arena uncertainty with Isle bid and rivals
Lemieux's group owes nearly 30 million from his contract but has repaid debts before bankruptcy. Isle of Capri Casinos pledges a 290 million arena if granted the sole Pittsburgh slots license, though Harrah's and Majestic Star are not fully committed. Gov Rendell asks rivals for 7.5 million annual arena funding. Penguins would contribute 8.5 million upfront and 4 million yearly, including 1.1 million in naming rights. Penguins decline formal deal citing Isle bid avoids team funding. Cuban and Marino added to group, confirming via ESPN affiliate interview.
