Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell reportedly said city and state officials have revised their offer to the Penguins for financing a new arena to keep the team in Pittsburgh.

"We have given the Penguins a revised offer but in no way, shape or form have they indicated it's over," Rendell told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

On Thursday, a state senator who sits on the board that would build the new arena said an announcement of a new deal was imminent. But on Friday, it appeared that a follow-up meeting between the two sides would precede any announcement of an agreement.

"Hopefully, the next time we talk, we get a deal done," Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

The Penguins are expected to tell officials in Kansas City by Sunday whether they would move into new Sprint Center starting next season. The Sprint Center has offered the Penguins free rent and revenue-sharing if they move to Kansas City, which briefly was home to an NHL expansion franchise in the mid-1970s.

The Penguins want a replacement for Mellon Arena, the oldest building in the NHL. The team's lease expires after this season.
