The Penguins reached a deal on financing for a new arena that will keep the NHL team in Pittsburgh.
The agreement - with city, county and state officials - was announced by Gov. Ed Rendell on Tuesday at the Pennsylvania Gaming Congress. He said money from the state's new slot machine parlors would help fund the arena.
"This afternoon I am traveling to Pittsburgh, where we will announce that all three government entities (state, county, city) have agreed to keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh for the next 30 years," Rendell said Tuesday.
"We will build a beautiful new arena."

Yeah, they get a "beautiful new arena".
...and the taxpayers are on the hook again......building palaces for the rich to play in.
If these teams want fancy rinks, they should build their own.
Sick world, this is.
