Ehhhh.... $2.5 million for all the upgrades to the arena? I really hope it doesn't make too much of a difference for merchandise/injuries/etc, as it's just another case of the rich getting richer and the poor/new teams getting a short end of the stick (in the short term at least). But any new features added to this game are positive in the long term.
As for Hardy making the AS Game, I don't think so. Playing 8 or 9 out of a possible 12 games will hurt his chances. Also, look at those shooting percentages!
