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.

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?

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?

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

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.

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