Amen to that! People in Pierce and Thurston counties shouldn't have to pay for Seattle's arena.

Ok, here we go. I like many of you out there support the sports entertainment industry. But here is one thing I am sick of and would hope that there are others out there too that may possibly feel the same way.

This crap of us the TAX payers being strong armed by the billion dollar industries in major sports to fund their new stadiums and we have to foot the bill. And what do we get in return? Yeah a team that will stay for the time being, but how do we get to enjoy those teams? With the new taxes that our state and local government have implemented on us, most now have to watch from the comforts of our home cause we are no longer able to afford decent seats in the "STADIUM" we funded with our tax dollar.

It doesn't make sense to pay for the stadium and then pay some inflated ticket price for a team that can be or has been mediocre for a long time and then we get some BIG HEADED owner in being a TOOL and threatening to take his 'BALL' and leave town unless he gets what he wants.

First of all it should be about production, if the team has a proven track record of winning and able to compete at the top level then they should broker a deal with the JOHN 'Q' public on supporting a new place to continue winning. Not the other way around.

If you build my PLAYGROUND I will continue to keep this team playing for your fans, but I do not guarantee they will win but this will make me happy and bring me lots of money for something I will get bored of later and sell and leave you the fan and your children and childrens' children to pay for in the future as I find another venture to spend my money on later.

It's a business and it's entertainment, I do agree, but it's also strong arming the hard working people that support the teams in order to keep some billionaire spoiled brat happy on his playground.

Most business's have a performance scale to go by and live by charts and graffs. And if performance isn't meeting the quota there has to be changes, or a reorganization to take place in order to turn the negative into a positive.

These teams that threaten to leave, let em leave. They want fans to support them and pay top dollar for the event. Then provide us with top dollar entertainment. Not some pathetic backyard b.s.

And if they want a new "playground" dig deep into your pockets and fork out some money for your investment and maybe us as the JOHN 'Q' PUBLIC will work with you and help with your playground. but if the team stinks and MGMT can't find a way to make it work. REORGANIZE the mgmt team and start proving to us THE FAN that the team is a winner and not a LOSER.
