NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says the total investment by the Friedkin family for an NHL team in either Houston or Austin would be $3.5 billion. That includes an expansion fee and cost of building an arena. Bettman declined to say how much for each. More to come at @SBJ.

@AlexMSilverman @SBJ Another team or two in a state with no income tax. Canadian teams are going to hate this.

@AlexMSilverman @SBJ @spurs and @COSAGOV Why not pursue the idea of starting an NHL franchise to cohabit the new arena that will be built downtown with Project Marvel. And if that doesn't work, the Frost Bank center is still available and will need a new full time tenant. Bring back the RAMPAGE!!!
