<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sep <span style="font-style: italic">21</span> - Imagine a revitalized Seattle Center with a new Memorial Stadium built upon a huge underground parking garage, adjacent to a rebuilt Center House that included a glass-encased Fun Forest. All sitting next to a sparkling new arena that remained home to the Sonics and Storm. </p> If you think that sounds far-fetched, picture this even zanier scenario: Chris Van Dyk, well-known Seattle activist and professional sports antagonist, teaming with Save Our Sonics director Brian Robinson to piece together just such a proposal. </p> "We've never been anti-Sonics or anti-Mariners," said Van Dyk, the leading lobbyist of Citizens for More Important Things. "We've been anti-tax subsidies for people with a whole lot of money. </p> </p> "The bottom line is, Brian has figured out a way to enable the Sonics to stay at Seattle Center without unduly tapping the taxpayers for a Sonics subsidy." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer </p> </p> </div></p>
I hope Clay Bennett sells to potential local owners and then we could keep the Sonics here in Seattle...
