Yes they did start building it.
I'm not so sure we deserve another Euroleague team, last 2 seasons Jerusalem got kicked out in Eurocup group stage, they're no longer the team that won that ULEB cup back in 2004, maybe if the new arena will bring investors they might get stronger but as I said, I still doubt they can do something significant in there.. their losing mentality is too strong. we're talking about a team that couldn't reach the Israeli league final in the last 4 years, a team that actually never was the Israeli champion, a team that always collapses after huge expectations to be 'the alternative to Maccabi' and end up being the alternative to Ashkelon or Ashdod <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> and all that despite having the 2nd biggest budget in the league.
