          Nothing better than seeing a city get back what was taken from them. The feeling you get is amazing. I know from experience.

              Justice!

              It will be awesome to have the green n gold back, and I'm beyond excited at the prospect of Seattle getting an NHL team! I like the Canucks, but it will be awesome to have our own team and build a rivalry with them.

                What's the over/under in terms of years the city of Seattle gets an NBA team? 2-3 years?

                  I'll say 3.5. The only way they best that is the Kings since they are on such shakey ground financially and the NBA (office/owners) is tired of the Maloofs. I have a feeling their little arena escapade not done in good faith this past Spring burned some bridges within the NBA. The Association was willing to loan them a lot of money, even breaking the credit limit allowed to be borrowed, to keep them in Sac. Stern was not happy with them walking away. That usually means concrete shoes.

                    Chris Hansen is a SAINT. Plain and simple. The City Council says they got everything they wanted from Hansen. Think he wants this to happen? And on top of that, he has guaranteed the debt payments on the arena, and has agreed to be personally audited to ensure his net worth is over $300 million.

                    Then on top of ALL THAT ... he's buying beer for everyone.

                    And on that note, I would personally like to buy you all a beer at FX McRory's this Thursday from 5-7. First beer for everyone is on me.
                    A saint, I tell you.

                      The Wolves are owned by the Minnesota version of Chris Hansen, it's not happening.

                          SEATTLE – In near back-to-back votes Monday afternoon, the King County and Seattle councils approved the proposed NBA / NHL arena project in Seattle's SODO neighborhood. County councilmembers voted unanimously (9-0) to approve the revised deal, while the city coucil vote was 7-2.

                          Investor and hedge fund manager Chris Hansen wants to build the $490 million arena south of Safeco Field and has already snapped up $53 million in land for the project. Monday's approval by the two councils means Hansen can now begin shopping for an NBA and NHL franchise.


                          The deal reached with the two councils calls for up to $145 million in public financing if Hansen can get one team to fill the building. Public financing would be $200 million for two teams. The financing would be paid by arena-generating revenue and includes no new taxes.

                                I could see it. Isn't Seattle in King County. Still would rather see the Sonics back in Seattle though.
