    You should would think so. But think of all the new Portlanders who don’t really have ties to the team.

    I’m always confused when people say that Vegas needs to build a new arena when they already have a GORGEOUS one!

    T-Mobile is amazing! Don’t know what they would build another.

    Probably to compete for the new team there would be my guess.

    Allegiant took 31 months. The A’s is projected to take 31 months. Considering basketball arenas are smaller I’m guessing 18-24 max. Like a few have noted though they already have an arena ready to play in today.

    Yeah the Vegas arena is very nice and right on the strip you can walk to thousands of places.

    Compare that to the Rose Garden which is stuck between railroad tracks and freeways. Nothing useful around except empty buildings such as the basically abandoned memorial coliseum. Almost no hotels, no restaurants, no entertainment. It's really a waste.

    But it’s already nicer than HALF the arenas around the league.
