I hope the Sonics stay in Seattle. It's a fantastic world class city, and as such, should retain an NBA franchise. I think attendance would climb with a better team and a new arena.

It's a shame that someone like Bill Gates doesn't just build the facility himself. He claims to love Seattle, and for him, a couple hundred million is what a $5 bill is to us. He could name the new place Gates Arena and include all kinds of pleasant Seattle and Microsoft-themed touches. If I had Gates' kind of money, I'd already own a sports team or two.
