They've moved to Oklahoma City. Outside of Portland (which has its own arena problems and they've always threatened to leave).

Pacific Northwest has gone from 3 NBA teams at the turn of the century to now 1. lol sad.


 

[P.C.]

I'm crushed.

[Sportsdude]

I can tell, I can feel your sorrow from here.  

[P.C.]

I'm very good at projecting my feelings.

    I hope I can sleep tonight.

It'll be okay, the sun will rise in the morning or the sky will be grey and cloudy.

I hear you. Because of this Earth-shaking news, now I have to make a critically important decision. Should I take a nap, or have a sandwich?
 

[Sportsdude]

Well if you work in Seattle's city hall this is a big deal. You've now got a vacant arena just sitting around. NHL team?  

[P.C.]

lol TB.

  I didn't know they had arenas with only one purpose.  I must get out more.  

[Sportsdude]

Well usually municipal governments don't like huge money making buildings going empty. They've got to pay the rent!  

[P.C.]

Repeat:   I didn't know they had arenas with only one purpose.  [/DIV]

[Sportsdude]

ah. Okay. Sorry misread.
No, they don't, but they want a main tenant to take over the lease. Having conventions and concerts don't pay the bills necessarily.

WOW! This news makes me wonder?? Who were the Supersonics?

  Actually, please don't answer, I am just pretending to care.

[Richard]

I won't shed any tears over it, it's of no importance really.
