Need answer to #3. Thank you
The Gale Force Holdings Limited Partnership owns both the Carolina Hurricanes (a professional hockey
team) and the PNC Arena where the Hurricanes play. A recent news article stated that the Carolina
Hurricanes owner lost $1.3 million in operating the PNC Arena for the fiscal year ending June 2015 (Forbes,
Mike Ozanian, "Carolina Hurricanes Owner Lost $1.3 Million Operating PNC Arena," November 6, 2015.)
Gale Force Holdings LP leases the PNC Arena from the Centennial Authority (a public/private partnership
that developed and owns the arena). In 2008, the lease for PNC Arena was extended to 2024.
See the following income statement excerpt from the Gale Force Holdings LP Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the year ended June 30, 2015. (See complete statement at
