"Didn't the Sonics leave in part because they hated Key Arena, and Seattle wouldn't build them a new sandbox?"
Oh boy, don't ask a Seattleite about the Sonics departure, that's quite a story (I grew up watching them). A lot of NW residents still refuse to go to Starbucks as they are still angry and bitter with Charles Schultz (no, not the Peanuts cartoonist). I think CNBC did a 30 minute story on that:

The whole story has enough drama for a book and movie deal...
