Seattle Sonics chairman Clay Bennett just released this statement, which I am assuming is in repsonse to Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels stating that if the Sonics were willing to invest $100 million dollars in a new arena or KeyArena, the city could come up with pubic resources to match it.
“We have been clear since July 18, 2006, the day the sale of the Sonics and Storm was announced, that KeyArena is not an option as a future home for the teams. We stated at that time that we would work diligently towards the development of a successor venue.”
“In issuing our call to action last month, we were hopeful the Mayor would use his regional leadership platform to rally support for a solution. Instead he focused on old unworkable concepts that are not acceptable.”
“It is clear that if all we have to discuss is the renovation of KeyArena, then a meeting with the Mayor will not be productive or necessary.”
“We can only hope that business, civic and elected leadership can step up quickly and offer real solutions to help build a new building. We stand ready to engage in those discussions.”
I'll have more later.
