I have to admit, a recent news story about The Sonics maybe, possibly, could be, not really coming to Kansas City got me a tad excited (No homo) but then I thought that we're not talking about the Supersonics of my youth where every game brought the possibility of Xavier "The X Man" McDaniel throwing an elbow in the face of some unsuspecting rookie. Nope, the Sonics haven't had a decent team in years and unlike the Penguins . . . They aren't even pretending to be interested in Kansas City . . . Strangely, horribly and insultingly . . . Oklahoma City ranks above Kansas City in the unlikely event the team should decide to move.
KC is a larger market than Oklahoma City. Las Vegas is the only larger market untapped but they totally bothced the All-star weekend and I think it will be a while until they get a team.
ReplyDeleteThe Bucks could move soon. The T-wolves are losing money. It looks like Paul Brown is keeping the Blazers in Portland.
The Brigade will use the new arena and it will be a much improved venue for live concerts. It could support a good minor league hockey team.
They made the right decision not building in the west bottoms but I wonder how bad parking and traffic are going to be once it goes in. Can downtown support that much traffic?
