So, the Seattle Super Sonics were bought last year by an Oklahoma group of investors. They said that they were not set on moving the team to Oklahoma, but it was definately the back-up plan . They wanted Key Arena in Seattle remodeled to include more luxury boxes and seating, to a tune of around $200-250 million, of which the team would come up with next to nothing. Keep in mind that the Key was remodeled in 1995, in which the bill is far from being paid off. The state, county, city and people of Seattle said no to their demands, so the team is looking to move to Bellevue or now the prefered site in Renton. They are asking the state and county for about 60% of the projected $530 million price tag for the new arena, and the remaining amount to be paid by the city, with very little to be paid by the team. Now, I think it is funny that the same state and county that denied $200 million last year is now being asked for $300 million, without the vote of the people by the way.

I say take a hike and move to Oklahoma. What do you guys (and gals) think?
