RZT5 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I couldnt care less about professional sports. Sports are to be played, not watched. But as someone with an interest in economics, I can't deny the potential economic benefits of professional sports teams and large construction projects (read: stadiums), so I say good job Seattle :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackS60 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 200 million of public investments over 30 years!! Bah, we did lay offs (public prosecutors) but we will loan 200mil for a stadium...bah! 0 public funding. Did you listen to the press conference? I'll post a link to the whole audio of it later on.

TonyMastodon Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yea its 200mil put up by the city and its gonna be paid back. That's still 200need off the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackS60 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 It will be paid back very soon by the arena's taxes. The arena will "pay for itself" as many people have now said. Still, 0 cost to the taxpayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMS60R Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Weren't the Sonics attendance around 9000 per game the last few years, not much of a fan base here. They were pretty much limping along, can't say I miss them. but hey 200 million of tax payers money for the benefit of 10,000 fans sounds like a great idea. Little hard to pay back at that rate.

The reason why the last couple of years don't really count as far as fan participation is because of schultz's divorce fiasco. As it looked about two years before the sonics were officially leaving you could see the fire sale of players going on until the new OKC owners took over and drafted players for their team that would eventually leave Seattle. when you don't have shitt or players nobody wants to see you play unless your playing the lakers/heat/bulls. All it takes is a GM/owner that cares and knows what's he's doing, just look at pdx, they have struggled for years, but now they're a great team to watch and they have great attendance numbers. What I'm not excited about, having Isaiah Thomas on a team in the NW again lol, when he was at UW he gave me heartburn lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5Hammy Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 It just was a problem that went from bad to really bad fast, galvanized pipe FTL son!!! Btw I was gonna email you the other day, wtf happened to you coming own to see your pops? Did you? Sh!t, I got down there and spent the whole time throwing up and crapping, apparently somewhere in bremerton served me food that had some parasites in it (though it is bremerton so I wasn't too surprised, lol). I sent out a ton of texts to people I couldn't see, I thought you were on the list but I just looked through my phone and realized I never sent you one, wonder who else I didn't send it too . I think I am back down there sometime in april for a wedding, I will probably fly so sadly no volvo but if my dads Austin Healy's running I'll try to steal it and hit you up, he's installing a positive displacement supercharger because ~220rwhp isn't enough power for a 1300lb car lol, oh and he was spining tires on the dyno so who knows what its really putting down, but I can tell you its enough to make a 2012 Camaro SS it's b!tch (bout 8-10 car lengths by time I hit 100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Tuna Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oh man sorry to hear. I just wanted to make sure you didn't think I blew you off or anything lol Let me know when your coming down for sure, we will schedule a meet whn your own here lolBtw if I start making dance/techno playlists, how many would download them? I was gonna start making them for Adam but they take too long to upload if only one person is going to download it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
