How does NBA/NHL talk impact you?
The Storm remains under a 10-year lease signed in 2009 to play home games at KeyArena, so talks of investors buying land in hopes to build arenas doesn’t directly impact the WNBA team. Unless a deal is made to also make the Storm a tenant in a new building, the team is linked to the city’s facility at Seattle Center.
But bringing the NBA back would alter the sports landscape in Seattle, making the city one of the major players among professional sports. The Storm and Sounders FC being the only ones to have won a championship, of course.
In today’s poll, we’re asking if the recent movement toward building an arena has created any excitement. There were plenty of Sonics fans in Portland on Monday to express their want for the NBA to return to Seattle, what about you?
If an arena is built in Seattle, what team would you be most excited about?
