Seattle City Council Approves Key Arena Remodel

The Seattle City Council, often accused of being anti business, anti sports and anti mainstream, has unanimously approved a remodel Seattle's Key Arena in a principally privately financed deal.  The new arena will be home to the Seattle Storm, who just won it's third championship, and hopefully an NHL expansion team.
The long range goal will be to bring an NBA franchise back to the area.
The last scheduled event in the Key in it's present form is an October 5th NBA game between the Golden State Warriors , featuring ex Sonic Kevin Durant and the Sacramento Kings, who at one time had been thought to have been ready to move to this area.

Chris Hansen Group Proposes All Private Financing

Earlier this year, one vote stopped the vacation, and after bitterness from the fallout of the vote, As the vote coincidentally went across gender lines, many of the voters against the proposals found themselves inundated by death threat and insults.  In addition, the Port Of  Seattle, reportedly is dead set against the proposed locations.   Still others will question the logic of building an half billion dollar building with neither an NBA team or a Hockey team currently looming in the horizon.
