Great, just effing great. We do NOT need 5 stadiums. Well, right now we have 3, and a 4th being built. UofW stadium not included.
What a bunch of whiney babies. :cursin::cursin::cursin:
Didn't the Sonics leave in part because they hated Key Arena, and Seattle wouldn't build them a new sandbox?
I'd also prefer that private concerns build these sports stadiums, since they reap most of the benefits. It's not at all a done deal that we'll get a new arena for basketball and hockey.
They asked for an arena right after the football and baseball field were built. No one had the stomach for funding a basketball arena. The the owner sold the team to Okc businessman with personal assurances the team would stay in Seattle. That is what he old the media anyway, the he tried to sell condos on the Brooklyn Bridge.
