Author: Devin Kelly Sullivan Arena posts $600,000 operating loss for 2016, well before Aces exit
In good times, which stretch back more than a decade, the arena split its profit with the city. In 2015, the city received $15,165, deposited into a capital reserve account for future repairs and renovations.

If the arena loses money, it’s up to the city to cover the gap, according to the contract signed in 2011. That means backfilling where revenues fall short of expenses, within a limit set each year by a complex formula.
