I'm sure David Stern will find some way to screw this up for Seattle.

Paul Allen on the subject: Quote: "It was a sad day when the Sonics left Seattle, a move I opposed. It’s exciting to think about the NBA coming back to Seattle and renewing the rivalry with the Portland Trail Blazers. However, it is too early for me to comment any further without a specific plan or proposal to review." Personally as a Portlander, and Oregonian, i'm hoping the NBA happens in Seattle (couldnt care less about the NHL). Its getting old having the Ducks, and to a lesser extent the Beavs, whoop up on the Huskies and Cougs all the time. We need another Seattle sport team we can whoop up on.  _________________

All eventually privately funded, because the 200M from the public would be paid back in rent monies. This is as close to perfect as anyone could ever hope for with a stadium deal. _________________ I blog, I tweet. When I'm not writing or goofing around on Seahawks.NET.

In seriousness though, and not to derail this thread, but I tried getting into the MLS and the Timbers last year because i really enjoy international soccer, it lasted for about a month or two and then I grew bored with it. Different strokes for different folks i guess. _________________

Arena construction would not start until both an NBA and NHL team are acquired. It includes no new taxes.
Is that accurate? That seems like a tall order to coordinate with two separate sports leagues when it's already tough enough to get a team, but to time it accordingly so this gets done seems tougher.

it seems to me like they're just going to build it no matter what happens in Sactown. Even if the NHL comes first.

I keep hearing it's at least one.... who ever commits first (an NBA team or and NHL team), then construction begins. That does seem crazy difficult to try and coordinate acquiring both at the same time to pull off the arena plan.

Hopefully they find a way to get the new Sonics into the Northwest division. _________________

Just curious, do the Huskies have a pretty nice on campus basketball arena or will they likely use the new arena as well?
