Bullets are still in the area at least. Seattle needs their team back damnit!

I’m just an internet stranger but a couple of years ago I spoke to guy who is a heavy hitter in Vegas real estate and he told me once Vegas gets their basketball arena situation sorted out the NBA is going to expand to Vegas and Seattle.
As a Sonics fan I hope he’s right. As a realist I’ll see it when I believe it.

Yes this was December 2021 and I asked why can’t the NBA just use T-Mobile arena and there’s an issue with the ownership group that owns the T-Mobile arena and the preferred NBA ownership group. Basically they don’t want to rent their building they’d rather own it.

The fact that Seattle has T-Mobile park (where the mariners play) made this a very confusing comment for me lol.

Try being an NHL fan, we have the Leafs playing in Scotiabank Arena, the Flames playing in the Scotiabank Saddledome and the Canucks play in Rogers Arena while the Oilers playing in Rogers Place lol
Honourable mention to Bell Center in Montreal and formerly Bell MTS Arena in Winnipeg

The mariners did $10-12 tickets all last season if you walked up to the window at least!
