"It (would be) the only pro franchise in the state. There's enormous enthusiasm for the NBA. There's not the dilution of the broad entertainment activities in this marketplace. "The Sonics would be an iconic event for Oklahoma City," he said. "It would get the focus and support of people statewide and become an important event not just for sports, but for social and economic development." 基本上球隊老闆跟西雅圖市政府僵持不下，官方說在上個老闆 Schultz 任內已經提供了三個解決方案，原則上與升級原有的 Key Arena 有關，而這三個解決方案依然在談判桌上；然而 Bennett 不喜歡那些提案，他想要透過私人資金挹注蓋新場館，先前 Bennett 提出以 300M 稅收在 Renton 蓋新球場的議案被州議會否決了。 Bennett 不喜歡升級方案的原因： Bennett doesn't appear interested in such proposals, however, and any KeyArena funding package would be complicated by the passage of Initiative 91 by Seattle voters last November. The initiative requires that the city earn a cash profit equal to or greater than a current 30-year U.S. Treasury Bill on any new arena lease involving a pro sports organization. "That's certainly a challenge and something that would need to be addressed in any potential deal," said Marty McOmber, a spokesman for Nickels' office. 十月三十一號是 Bennett 自己訂立的死線，事情如果還沒解決，那我們下個球季就得改支持奧克拉荷馬超音速隊了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.214.129
