Are the Jets not owned by the city of Winnipeg? If they are, I think it
would tough for them to move!

I've heard rumours that the Jets are moving to Charlotte. Anyone know any
of the details or if there is any truth to this rumour?

The Winnipeg Jets are not moving! A group of local business men
are putting together a plan to construct a new arena , and have one year
to complete this undertaking. Various levels of government may contribute
to the cost. There is also some talk of partial funding for the arena
as part of the upgrading of facilities when Winnipeg hosts the Pan-Am
games in 1999. In answer to the second question of ownership the jets
are 69% privately owned with the City holding the remaining 31%.

How are the Jets doing as a business, anyway? How is attendance at games?
Sales of merchandise? Overall popularity?

Completely untrue. The Jets are not going anywhere.

A city department, Winnipeg Enterprises, is a minority shareholder. The
Enterprises is the owner of facilities like Winnipeg Arena and Stadium.

Barry Shenkarow is the majority owner of the team.
