The home of the Rhinos will remain Marina Auto Stadium for at least 2010.
Apparently the length and dollars of the contract are still being worked.
On the business side, I wonder how suite sales are going and when the schedule will get released.
Hopefully the schedule is out soon and the suite sales are going well.
