What a shame!

Apparently the arena has fallen on hard times and the anticipated turnover to become a retail site has fallen thru. I'm just shocked that the Hockey Hall of Fame hasn't searched the arena to make sure there isn't anything of value inside. I would think the paperwork mentioned below might be of interest for historical purposes?

From Gino Reda's column on TSN.ca (http://tsn.ca/tsn_talent/columnists/gino_reda/)

"A minus to those who betrayed public trust and allowed the historic Maple Leaf Gardens to go from shrine to shambles. Dead rats lying in the halls, a disgusting mess in the kitchens, garbage everywhere, old record books and historic documents left behind like trash, seats that once commanded hundreds of dollars as treasured souvenirs, now lay abandoned and strewn throughout the forgotten building."
