Nashville sweetens offer

The city has made another offer to a local group seeking to buy the Predators, proposing a more generous arena lease in exchange for a commitment to stay in Nashville for five years.

Under the deal offered Friday by Mayor Karl Dean, the Predators could still leave town in three years if the investors were to lose $20 million in that time and paid attendance were to fall below 14,000 per game.

If the team leaves before the five years are up, it would repay about $6.8 million a year that the city would provide in operating support and management fees to the team and the arena, which the Predators would manage.
